Animal genomics explores the genetic blueprints of life. Researchers use population, comparative, and functional tools to study how DNA drives biodiversity and evolution, investigating genetic variation both within and across species.
How does the genetic code translate into the vast diversity of the animal kingdom? Research subject Animal Genomics addresses this by integrating multi-layered genomic approaches to understand the evolution of biodiversity in animals. The research addresses how the genetic code translates into the vast diversity of the animal kingdom. By integrating multi-layered genomic approaches, the team seeks to understand the evolution of biodiversity in animals. Population genomics is employed to track variation within species, revealing how groups adapt to changing environments. Comparative genomics is used to analyze differences between species and identify the signatures of major evolutionary shifts. Functional genomics, including RNA sequencing and epigenetics, is applied to observe the genome in action, demonstrating how gene regulation and environmental interactions shape phenotypes without altering the underlying DNA.
