Avian genomics and ecological speciation (AVIAN GENOMICS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

This joint exchange programme aims to continue and refine our research programme on the genetics and genomics of ecological speciation, using birds as model systems. This includes creating a reference genome sequence assembly for our two main study species (Nesospiza and Serinus finches), using de novo next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. We will use a population genomics approach and will ...

Mapping Genotypes to Phenotypes: Development of a Linkage Map and Mapping of Colour Polymorphisms in Ischnura elegans (Odonata) (COLOURFUL GENES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 16, 2013,

"Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic variation remains one of the major challenges in biology. Linkage mapping provides means to identify genes that underlie ecologically important traits, such as colour polymorphisms, and this can be used to study the fitness consequences of variation at these loci. Genetic linkage maps are expected to become increasingly applied to ecological model org ...

Genetics of Ecological Speciation in Birds (GENES AND SPECIATION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

"This joint international research staff exchange programme launches a programme on the genetics of ecological speciation, using birds as a model system. We will use population genomics approaches in combination with the candidate gene approach, and follow up with additional techniques such as QTL association mapping. In particular, we will gather further molecular evidence to confirm or refute th ...
