Rps27 and Rps27l proteins are functionally interchangeable...
have been evolutionarily retained because the divergence of their expression patterns has resulted in both genes becoming necessary for achieving adequate total expression of the RP across cell types.

My background is in #Biochemistry and #ProteinEvolution. PhD work on the evolution of binding specificity following #GeneDuplication. Postdoctoral work on #FlowerColor #Phylogenomics #MetabolicPathway evolution and #AdaptiveIntrogression. Broader goal is understanding #EvolutionaryProcesses and outcomes across #ScalesOfBiologicalOrganization.

I'm also interested in #statistics, #geneduplication, #toxin #adaptation, #lemurs, and #evolution (ary) #ecology in general. I mostly make bad #coding jokes, boost cool articles and interesting job/PhD/grant offers, talk about bats, and advocate for #mentalhealth care. Read below for life outside #academia:
