Directions in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2002 [Figure: see text] ▪ Abstract In order to understand both the past and future directions of research in evolutionary biology we need to begin by understanding in what way these programs of research differ from the model of most scientific work. The study of evolutionary processes and, in particular, the genetics of the evolutionary process must ...

Adventures of a Mathematician in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2021 Foreword In an occasional series of articles, we will be publishing autobiographical sketches from some of those working in the field of genome evolution. The series will feature both the very eminent, but also researchers closer to their start of their career, and those from underrepresented groups.

Transcriptional effects of a positive feedback circuit in Drosophila melanogaster
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Synthetic systems that use positive feedback have been developed to control human disease vectors and crop pests. The tTAV system, which has been deployed in several insect species, relies on a positive feedback circuit that can be inhibited ...
