Evolutionary developmental biology is the comparative study of organismal development and how it has evolved. There is a particular focus on the genetic basis of phenotypic structures, how they ...

Evolutionary developmental biology faces reciprocal paradoxes: the conservation of similar developmental genetic toolkits despite a diversity of life forms, and the inverse paradox — the ...

Our research focus is on the phenotype and factors affecting its evolution. For most projects, we use the mammalian dentition that offers a rich array of interrelated data on development, function, ...

But in the last decade, these studies have intensified and even spawned a new field of study: evolutionary developmental biology, or, as it's often known, "evo-devo.'' Using new techniques of ...

The other area of my efforts is in how to design, assess, and effectively teach students to understand, appreciate, and make use of molecular biology (which includes the foundations of all other ...

via population genetics - is in need of an extension in order to incorporate recent findings in epigenetics and evolutionary developmental biology. Birch, J. (forthcoming). Kin Selection, Group ...

And evolutionary developmental biology is revealing new mechanisms that regulate the expression of small genetic changes in ways that can have a large effect on phenotype. Which evolutionary ...

The ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) graduate program provides advanced training ... Anthropology; and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology.

Core to our advances is the use and development of state-of-the-art methods combining evolutionary genomics (bioinformatics), engineering biology, the diversity of past (palaeobiology and ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...

The IEB team members share a passion for exploring the underpinnings of phenotypic diversity. The research that we conduct in the IEB lab spans several disciplines including genomics, developmental ...
