Post doc available: The role of transcriptional and regulatory changes during compensatory evolution Which principles influence the rewiring and tuning of gene regulatory networks? How do those network react to genetic perturbations? We are seeking a post-doc to tackle those … Continue reading →

This Friday I enjoyed the privilege of being a Phd. examiner for the first time. The (un)fortunate individual was Ari Jon Arason, who has been working on the functional role of human bronchial derived basal cells in regeneration and fibrosis … Continue reading →

In the beginning of November the Icelandic biological society and associates organized a conference on biological research in Iceland. This event has run biannually since 2009, and before that it was organized by the society and the Institute of Biology … Continue reading →

Which principles influence the rewiring and tuning of gene regulatory networks? How do those network react to genetic perturbations? We are seeking a post-doc to tackle those and related questions in project utilizing populations of Drosophila (fruit flies) that have … Continue reading →

Tweets by @CharrVein In order to follow recent works and discussion in evolutionary genetics and related topics I put up a twitter account. So far I have not figured out how to make it a nice open timeline, for instance … Continue reading →
