Host - Erik Clark

The Crocker group takes an integrated path to explore the genetic basis of complex traits, focusing on gene regulation, combining the rich ecological histories of fruit flies worldwide, and integrating it with cutting-edge lab experiments. We use a combination of “synthetic evolution,” based on large-scale synthetic DNA libraries, synthetic perturbations to genomes, and controlled evolution experiments on Drosophila flies. Combinations of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and behavior are used to study genotype-to-phenotype relationships concertedly. This approach provides a comprehensive view of gene-regulatory evolution at the organismal level to explore how these systems evolve across different environments.
