Project A1 (PIs Schulenburg, Dierking, Kaleta) aims to enhance our understanding of microbiome-mediated evolution of the metaorganism. Using the nematode C. elegans as a versatile experimental model system, the project will examine the molecular and …
Project A3 (PIs Stukenbrock, Dagan) aims to characterize the genetic basis underlying eco-evolutionary interactions among plant hosts and their microbiome. Focusing on wheat and its associated fungi and bacteria, the project will study the role …
Project A4 (PIs Traulsen, Schulenburg) aims to study the role of multilevel selection and microbial transmission mode in shaping host-microbiome interactions, the resulting phenotypes, and the fitness of hosts and associated microbes. The project will …
Project A2 (PIs Baines, Franke) aims to determine the genetic basis of evolutionary change among mammalian metaorganisms. The project will investigate mechanisms of host-microbe interactions, with G protein-coupled receptors as an important updated focal class …
