the role of regulatory evolution in speciation & adaptation
Gene expression is a molecular phenotype that is essential to organismal form and fitness. Understanding how gene regulation evolves over time and contributes to phenotypic differences within and between species is essential to understanding evolution. The overarching goals of my research are to characterize the nature of regulatory variation as well as its role in evolutionary processes like adaptation and speciation.
