An integrated assessment of recent evolutionary change through genome wide mapping of regulatory changes and signatures of selection in natural sculpin (Cottus) hybrids (EVOLMAPPING)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
It is the unprecedented access to genome wide data that highlights the potential of current evolutionary studies and this proposal aims at exploiting this progress to analyze evolutionary processes in a well-established fish system of hybrid speciation. We study natural populations of freshwater fish referred to as sculpins (Cottus). In these we have identified species that have recently (

The role of de novo evolution in the emergence of new genes (NEWGENES)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
Gene evolution has long been thought to be driven primarily by duplication or transposition mechanisms, followed by divergence of the duplicated copy. However, every evolutionary lineage harbours also so-called orphan genes, which have no homologues in other evolutionary lineages i.e. which do not appear to have arisen via gene duplication mechanisms, or have diverged to a point where their origin ...
