"The adaptation to different diets is a major driving force in mammalian evolution. Mammals have occupied extremely diverse dietary niches that require different masticatory functions. The diversity in mammalian skull and tooth morphology reflects these different feeding adaptations, but key questions remain unanswered: How are chewing forces transferred from the teeth through the jaws? What role ...

Sheltered load at the MHC (SLMHC)

Start date: May 8, 2010, End date: Feb 7, 2011,

"The accumulation of deleterious mutations and their subsequent effects on fitness play an important role in genome evolution. The mutational load is, however, not distributed evenly across the genome. In particular, genomic regions under strong balancing selection, as well as areas with little recombination are prone to accumulate mutations. In such genomic regions natural selection cannot easily ...
