Description of the
Recurrent phenotypic loss: genome repeatability and regulatory evolution
DFG Priority Programme SPP 2349 GEvol project on the evolution of kleptoparasitism in bees and the associated recurrent phenotypic loss.
- Genome assembly and annotation
- Population genomics
- Comparative and structural genomics
- Regulatory regulation and evolution / transcriptomics / epigenomics
- Evodevo, morphology
This project is carried out in close collaboration with an associated (tandem) PhD project with Prof Katja Nowick (FU Berlin) and in collaboration with TJ Colgan (JGU Mainz) and B Wipfler (LIB, Bonn).
