Genetic architecture in Drosophila - The role of the Y chromosome in gene expression across the genome.

Understanding genetic architecture, the underlying basis of phenotypic traits, and its relationship to evolutionary change, is a major challenge for evolutionary biologists. Variation in gene expression is one of the most important factors causing phenoty pic variation. We will study the role of ...

Molecular mechanisms of gene regulation in autosomal and X-linked genes by the Y chromosome in Drosophila.

In this project Drosophila genetics will be used to test the hypothesis that the Y chromosome effects on gene expression result from blocks of simple-sequence DNA in the Y chromosome that compete for DNA-binding proteins that affect gene expression. The aims and challenges of this work are: 1....
