Alterations in environmental conditions can lead to rapid, adaptive changes in gene expression. This project aims to understand cis-regulatory evolution in natural populations of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Using high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and reporter gene experiments, we will identify genetic variants that influence gene expression. Furthermore, we will determine the magnitude of their effect on gene expression and investigate their population dynamics.

环境条件的改变可以导致基因表达的快速、适应性变化。该项目旨在了解果蝇果蝇自然种群中的顺式调控进化。利用高通量 RNA 测序 (RNA-seq) 和报告基因实验，我们将识别影响基因表达的遗传变异。此外，我们将确定它们对基因表达的影响程度并研究它们的种群动态。
