This project investigates the role of haploid selection in animals, particularly focusing on sperm genetics and epigenetics using zebrafish as a model. It aims to understand how these factors influence offspring performance and evolutionary processes through a series of experimental and genomic analyses.
An inescapable consequence of sex in eukaryotes is the evolution of a biphasic life cycle with alternating diploid and haploid phases.
The occurrence of selection during both phases has far reaching consequences for fundamental evolutionary processes including the rate of adaptation, the extent of inbreeding depression and the load of deleterious mutations, as well as for applied research into assisted fertilization.
It has been a long-standing dogma that, unlike in plants, selection at the hapl…
