OFFER DESCRIPTION
The laboratory in interested in understanding the origin of new organs
during the radiation of winged insects. With this aim, the Almudi lab is using
single cell –omics approaches to address how morphological novelties
appeared, evolved and promoted the outstanding radiation of the insect
lineage and the conquest of the sky. During the last years, the laboratory
has established the mayfly species, Cloeon dipterum, as an emergent model
organism to investigate insect evolution and evolutionary novelties (see
Almudi et al., (2020) Nat Comms 11, 2631; Almudi et al., (2019) Evodevo 10,
6). The specific aims of the mayFLYeye project are studying the origin and
evolution of the regulatory networks responsible for the appearance of
wings in insects and the male-specific visual system of mayflies using a
combination of single cell RNA seq, single cell ATAC-seq, functional genetics
and molecular biology approaches in the emergent model C. dipterum.
