PI: YES
Taxa Studied: Invertebrate Animals
Techniques Employed: Quantitative PCR (qPCR), Microarrays, In Situ Hybridization, Antibody Staining, Epifluoresence Microscopy, Confocal Microscopy, RNA interference(RNAi)
Research Description: We study how the environment influences development to regulate morphology, and how this regulation evolves to generate diversity. We are particularly interested in how the environment influences body and organ size, using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism. Our work integrates genetics, physiology, and evolution.
