This project investigates the genetic adaptations of brittle stars to deep-sea environments using comparative genomics. By analyzing gene evolution and allele frequency shifts, it aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that enable survival in extreme conditions, contributing to our understanding of marine biodiversit…
The deep-sea covers about two-thirds of the world’s ocean bottoms; yet, it is one of the least known environments of the planet.
Given its harsh environmental conditions, life in high depths requires several specific metabolic adaptations.
Surprisingly, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to such environments.
Which and how many genes are involved in adaptation?
What is the extent of convergent evolution across distantly related taxa?
Brittle stars (Ophiuroidea)…
