Identifying a hybrid sterility and segregation distortion gene in Drosophila pseudoobscura

Semester: Spring 2025


Presentation description

The Drosophila pseudoobscura pseudoobscura (USA) and the Drosophila pseudoobscura bogotana (Bogota) subspecies are among two of the most recently diverged subspecies of Drosophila. Their recent divergence and incomplete reproductive isolation provides the unique opportunity to fully characterize a hybrid incompatibility system. This project aims to manipulate a gene responsible for hybrid incompatibility between the USA and Bogota subspecies of D. pseudoobscura.
