Professor Alistair McGregor’s open lecture will explain how animals are built by a ‘genetic toolkit’. Understanding natural variation in genetic regulatory interactions is important to our knowledge of cell and developmental biology, and to the evolution of biodiversity. Alistair will explore how changes in the regulation of genes that are used to build animals underlie the evolution of their shape and size.
