Description of Research
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
Professor Arbeitman studies how sex-specific development and behavior are specified on a molecular-genetic level, using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system.
The lab uses molecular, genetic, genomic and computational techniques to identify and functionally analyze genes that underlie sex-specific development and adult physiology. In particular, the lab is interested in identifying genes that specify the potential for male-specific courtship behaviors. Very little is known about how behaviors are specified on a molecular-genetic level and so these studies serve as a general model for understanding the molecular basis of behavior.
