Funded Activity Summary

Watching evolution in action using transitional forms of lizard pregnancy. By using newly developed epigenomic techniques and two Australian lizards that exhibit egg-laying, pregnancy and a rare transitional form of reproduction, this Project aims to watch “evolution in action” to determine how genetic changes enable the evolution of complex traits. The expected outcomes are a new synthesis of how genomic architecture underpins the transition from egg-laying to live-birth, and the first computational model illustrating how transitional reproductive forms are maintained. The benefits include development of Australian expertise in state-of-the-art technologies, new international collaborations between the University of Sydney and Harvard, and significantly enhanced knowledge of vertebrate evolution and diversity.
