SUMMARY:Investigating the evolution and development of body plans and body
  parts in arthropods - Professor Alistair McGregor\, Department of Biologi
 cal and Medical Sciences\, Oxford Brookes University
DTSTART:20220127T140000Z
DTEND:20220127T150000Z
UID:TALK161251@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Caroline Newnham
DESCRIPTION:Research in my lab focuses on questions that are key to unders
 tanding animal evolution: How does the genetic regulation of development e
 volve and what are the genetic and developmental bases for morphological v
 ariation between species. To address these questions we study the genetics
  and genomics of the development of the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum a
 nd morphological evolution among flies of the Drosophila melanogaster spec
 ies subgroup. In this talk I will present our analysis of spider segmentat
 ion using single cell sequencing and recent results from investigating the
  role and regulation of tartan in Drosophila male genital diversification.
