Infection inducing mechanism found in bacteria
A research appearing in Nature, with the participation of doctors Susana Campoy and Jordi Barbé from the Department of Genetics and Microbiology at UAB, demonstrates that bacteria have a surprising mechanism to transfer virulent genes causing infections. The research...
New model simulates effects of genes on the development of organisms
Researchers at UAB and University of Helsinki have developed a mathematical model able to describe how a group of identical cells organise themselves to form a complex three-dimensional structure, how differences between individuals occur based...
Genome sequencing of three parasitoid wasps
An international consortium of scientists, including UAB researcher Deodoro Oliveira, have sequenced the genome of three species of parasitoid wasps of the genus Nasonia. The research offers new basic information on the genetic mechanisms of evolution. It is also of great importance...
Evolution could be predictable
Clines are trends in a morphological variation due to environmental influences. In Drosophila flies, one of the known clines is the size of their wings depending on latitude. The study of the American populations of Drosophila suboscura, carried out by a group of UAB geneticists, has led to a...
