The Dudka Lab at Lehigh University studies how rapid evolution of chromosome segregation machinery impacts health, fertility, and disease.

The regulation of gene expression underlies nearly every biological process in eukaryotes. It is facilitated through transcription factors (TFs), which bind to DNA and influence mRNA product...

Abstract. Drosophila ventral appendages are considered to be serially homologous structures derived from a ventral appendage ‘ground state’ and shaped by d

Nature Communications - Replication fork plasticity upon genotoxic stress is modulated by nuclear architectural components by elusive mechanisms. Here the authors implicate Lamin A/C – best...

Fruit flies use a bacterial gene to protect against wasps, which threaten their larvae.The gene produces a toxin that kills wasp eggs.

Metazoan parasites have played a major role in shaping innate immunity in animals. Insect hosts and parasitoid wasps are excellent models for illumina…

Associate Professor / Professor of Evolutionary Genomics in the Department of Genetics at the University of Cambridge.

Transposable elements (TEs) shape every aspect of genome biology, influencing genome stability, size, and organismal fitness. Following the 2007 disco…

The capacity to regenerate lost organs is widespread among animals, and yet the number of species in which regeneration has been experimentally probed using molecular and functional assays is very sma...

Insect male genitalia are among the fastest evolving structures of animals. Studying these changes among closely related species represents a powerful approach to dissect developmental processes and g...

Ridgway et al. show that the transcription factor Sox21b represses the size of the posterior lobes of male Drosophila genitalia. Sox21b expression differs during posterior lobe development between D....
