Which genetic changes explain why related organisms develop different visible traits? The group investigates how the regulation of gene expression evolves within and between species. Research combines molecular, developmental and quantitative genetics to connect changes in DNA regulation with differences in development. One focus examines the evolution of pigmentation in Drosophila, while another considers patterns of regulatory change across whole genomes. The work links particular genetic changes to broader evolutionary processes, examining how variation in gene activity contributes to differences among organisms.
