QCB Research Scientist Dr. Joshua Schraiber Published a New Study

QCB research scientist Dr. Joshua Schraiber (left) from the lab of former QCB faculty Dr. Matt Pennell (right), in collaboration with Dr. Alexander Cope from Vanderbilt University, published a new study titled “Macroevolutionary divergence of gene expression driven by selection on protein abundance” in Science magazine. Analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic data on ten mammals in this study reveals that evolution primarily acts on protein levels, with gene expression driven to accommodate those optimal levels.
