🧬 The Project: You will identify the Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) driving head horn development by comparing "horn" vs. "no-horn" phenotypes.
🛠️ Methods:
developmental single-cell omics, RNAi & HCR imaging
🎓 You: MSc in DevBio, Genetics, or EvoBio. Experience with sc-sequencing is a ➕!

💻 The Project: We will integrate multi-omics (bulk/scRNAseq, long-reads, ATAC-seq) to explore how duplicated genes diverge in regulation and function.
🤝 You will be part of the DFG SPP 2349 @gevol.bsky.social consortium & the @imprsgs.bsky.social, with research visits to collaboration partners (👇).
