Genetic basis of adaptive evolution

We aim at identifying all adaptive transposable element insertions in Drosophila melanogaster natural populations

Molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive mutations

We want to understand how adaptive mutations induce phenotypic changes

Fitness traits most relevant for adaptation

We aim at elucidating which phenotypic traits play an important role in adaptive evolution

#xp it is out! (10 years after the Smurf phenotype) doi.org/10.1101/2022.1… Thanks to the Smurf-based two-phase ageing model, we show - in D. melanogaster - that the so-called transcriptional signature of ageing is mostly carried by the Smurf phase, the last phase of life, (1/2) Retweeted by Dr. Josefa González (@GonzalezLab@ecoevo.social)
