Genetic Background Effects on Adaptation and Gene Function Evolution
The ability to predict phenotype from genotype is the ultimate goal of genomic research. Achieving this goal requires understanding, on a systems level, how natural variation between genetic backgrounds can influence ... -
Illumination at the Intersections of Genomics and Public Health: A Study of Opsins, SPurS, Cluster Machine, and Ancestry in Genomics
Light is essential to life on planet Earth, yet researchers know very little about how biology and health are influenced by this ubiquitous source of energy. Opsins comprise a large and diverse group of light-sensitive ... -
Microbial Evolution In Sea Ice: Communities To Genes
(2009-12-15)Microbial communities encased in growing sea ice must contend with the combined stresses of low temperature and high salinity, environmental pressures that only intensify over the course of the winter. This harsh physical ... -
Stress-induced metabolite release creates an ecological and evolutionary opportunity for restoring growth regulation
Nutrient sensing is a fundamental component of eukaryote survival. In order to convert environmental stimuli to a proper physiological response, many systems like the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rely on tight ...
