Modes of genome evolution during major metazoan transitions
Our understanding of how genomic changes translate into organismal novelties is often confounded by the complexity of the underlying genome architecture. My previous studies revealed a complex interplay between several levels of genomic organization during major metazoan evolutionary transitions, ranging from modifications of regulatory elements to the gene order on the chromosomal scale. A major gap in our understanding is the extent to which those different genomic scales are evolutionarily linked and reflect an inherent functional property or mode of genome evolution. In this proposal, I focus on the emerging model system within the highly advanced clade of cephalopod molluscs, the…
