THE MALLARINO LAB AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY |
|
|
The lab is broadly interested in addressing two questions: (1) what are the genetic and developmental mechanisms by which morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits are established? and (2) how are these processes modified during evolutionary time to produce the spectacular phenotypic diversity seen in nature?
To answer these questions, we combine the study of emerging model organisms, because of their diverse, naturally occurring and ecologically relevant phenotypes, with traditional model species, because of the powerful molecular and genetic tools available.
