CAREER: Discovery of the molecular mechanisms underlying microevolution of phenotypic plas — NSF Award to Johns Hopkins University
When organisms are exposed to environmental differences, like changes in temperature conditions, they can grow into alternative forms that are more adapted to particular environments.

| Abstract | When organisms are exposed to environmental differences, like changes in temperature conditions, they can grow into alternative forms that are more adapted to particular environments. This project investigates how a nematode roundworm makes the decision to become a long-lived and stress-resistant form instead of a proliferative form that is stress-sensitive. Currently there is little understanding how these types of decisions are made at the molecular level. High-throughput measurements, genome |
