What is the engine of biodiversity? Comparative and Functional Speciation Genetics in the Post-genomic Era (FUNCSPECGEN)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2019,
More than 150 years after the seminal works of Charles Darwin on speciation, we are beginning to unravel the genetic underpinnings of the splitting process (Ellegren H [..] JBW Wolf, Nature, in press). The genomic revolution is progressing at full speed, and for the first time in history we are equipped with the necessary tools to investigate the genomic architecture of speciation at base-pair res ...

Haploid selection in animals: investigating the importance of genetic and epigenetic effects in sperm (HAPSELA)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,
An inescapable consequence of sex in eukaryotes is the evolution of a biphasic life cycle with alternating diploid and haploid phases. The occurrence of selection during both phases has far reaching consequences for fundamental evolutionary processes including the rate of adaptation, the extent of inbreeding depression and the load of deleterious mutations, as well as for applied research into ass ...

Following the Genomic Footprints of Early Europeans (FLOWGENE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Two of greatest challenges of the post-genomic era are to (i) develop a detailed understanding of the heritable variation in the human genome, and to (ii) determine which key events in human evolutionary history that are responsible for patterns of genomic variation. The recent genomic revolution will be instrumental in these quests and we will very soon have access to several thousand complete ge ...

Next Generation Molecular Ecology (NEXTGENMOLECOL)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
There is an immediate need to increase our understanding of the genetic basis for fitness differences in natural populations (Ellegren and Sheldon Nature 452:169-175, 2008). Fortunately, technological developments within genome research, notably the recent ability to retrieve massive amounts of DNA sequence data based on next generation sequencing , will make possible completely novel investigatio ...
