Natural selection can result in an increase of genetic differentiation between populations, in the case where locally adapted variants differ among populations (Novembre and Di Rienzo 2009) . Natural selection can also potentially act in the opposite direction, maintaining shared diversity among populations, when selection favors similar sets of alleles in distinct populations. Finally, s…
Dictyostelium discoideum is a social amoeba that displays a unique behavior during periods of food scarcity. Under starvation, the unicellular individuals produce membrane proteins that promote cell adhesion and the resulting multicellular aggregate moves towards a better living environment. There, some of the cells will differentiate into a stalk that supports a spore head, formed by the…
Throughout this undergraduate research project, our focus is to investigate genetic diversity in Dictyostelium discoideum's "greenbeard genes," namely tgrB1 and tgrC1. This highly polymorphic gene pair is activated at the beginning of the social phase in the amoeba's life cycle, playing a crucial role in an allorecognition system during aggregation. The dynamics of this system can be conc…
