Late last year the lab took part in the Icelandic biology conference. The conference is biannual, and the largest aggregation of biological researchers in Iceland.
Our lab contributed several works to the meeting, and Im very proud of the students for their contributions.
Here is a list of the projects that they presented:
Can you save a mutant? Expressional rescue of 3 major wing defects in Drosophila melanogaster Baldur Kristjánsson, Dagný Á. Rúnarsdóttir, Sudarshan Chari, Ian Dworkin, Arnar Pálsson
Waddingtons landscapes explored: Expression changes associated with genetic assimilation of crossveinless phenotypes Dagný Ásta Rúnarsdóttir, Baldur Kristjánsson, Sarah Marzec, Ian Dworkin, Arnar Pálsson
Study of the genetic and developmental basis of phenotypic differences between sympatric Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) morphs Nahal Eskafi, Alexander Guðjónsson, Sylvain Moinard, Lea J. Plesec, Sigurður S. Snorrason, Zophonias O. Jonsson, Arnar Palsson, Sigríður Rut Franzdóttir
Differential expression of transcription factors between Arctic charr morphsLea Jerman Plesec, Alexander Guðjónsson, Sébastien Matlosz, Jóhannes Guðbrandsson, Arnar Pálsson, Sigríður Rut Franzdóttir, Zophonías O. Jónsson
