Opportunities

The data obtained by the European citizen science project #MelanogasterCTF was used to create the Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST), the world’s largest fruit fly genomic data repository.

The European Drosophila Population Genomics Consortium (DrosEU), together with the North American Real Time Evolution Consortium (DrosRTEC) has published a new article, Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST) – A new population genomics resource, in the prestigious journal Molecular Biology and Evolution using, among other samples, the samples of natural populations of Drosophila melanogastercontinue …

Melanogaster Catch The Fly!

Josefa González and her team at the Laboratory of Evolutionary and Functional Genomics are leading the Melanogaster Catch the Fly outreach project. This is the first European citizen science network in adaptation genomics. Through direct involvement, the proposal aims to bring science to students and teachers within the framework of the first scientific project in genomics adaptationcontinue …

The Network

Some of the main issues we are interested in exploring with your active help are:

(1) How to develop a collaborative strategy for sampling different European Drosophila populations through space and time in order to generate a unique European collection of samples for future sequence (and possibly phenotype) analysis.

(2) How to best generate high-quality sequence data from such samples.

(3) How to optimally integrate the resulting data and information so that it can be used to answer a wide range of questions.

(4) We would also like to explore potential funding opportunities that could be used to support regular meetings of the network and that would foster scientific exchange and collaboration among the labs involved.
