Eastbio: FoxP2 in Flight: Transgenic Bats and the Molecular Genetics of Speech and Language

University of St Andrews
School of Biology
Have you ever wondered how humans evolved the ability to speak to one another, which other animals share that ability, or how it is encoded in our genes and the brain? Our lab aims to answer these questions by studying vocal learning, the ability to modify vocalisations through experience, which underlies human speech and is found in only a handful of other species.

EASTBIO The evolutionary fate of new mutations

University of St Andrews
School of Mathematics and Statistics
  Research Group: Statistical Medicine and Molecular Biology
Every evolutionary change begins with a new mutation. But what happens to a new mutation once it appears? Does it help an organism survive and reproduce, or does it disappear without leaving a trace? How these new mutations affect evolution remains an open question in evolutionary biology. Read more
