Transposable elements dynamics
We are interested in understanding the dynamics of transposable elements in populations. Species differ in TE content, diversity and activity. … Read more
Research in the González Lab integrates omics approaches with molecular and phenotypic analyses to identify and characterize adaptive mutations, particularly those induced by transposable element insertions.
Molecular effects of transposable elements
Transposable elements can affect the expression and the structure of nearby genes. TEs can also affect the 3D genome structure.
Urban adaptation in Anopheles mosquitoes
Anopheles gambiae, and its sibling species An. coluzzii, are responsible for more than 90% of human malaria parasites transmission in Africa. … Read more
Transposable elements in Caenorhabditis neural system diversification
The need for specialization in multicellular organisms has driven the evolutionary emergence of an increasing number of cell types. Among … Read more
