Adaptation is a fundamental area of evolutionary biology but we know surprisingly little about its underlying genetic basis. As a process, adaptation poses several challenges for Australian society including bacterial evolution of resistance to antibiotics, HIV resistance to antiviral medications and the evolution of pesticide resistance in agricultural pests. This study will use a model system and genomic tools to test theoretical models of the genetic basis of adaptation. This integrative approach will enhance Australia's research profile in genomics and evolutionary biology. The project will provide emerging scientists with skills in areas including genomics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology and agricultural genetics.

适应是进化生物学的一个基本领域，但令人惊讶的是，我们对其潜在的遗传基础知之甚少。作为一个过程，适应给澳大利亚社会带来了若干挑战，包括细菌对抗生素的抗药性演变、艾滋病毒对抗病毒药物的抗药性以及农业害虫对农药抗药性的演变。本研究将使用模型系统和基因组工具来测试适应的遗传基础的理论模型。 这种综合方法将提高澳大利亚在基因组学和进化生物学方面的研究水平。 该项目将为新兴科学家提供基因组学、分子生物学、进化生物学和农业遗传学等领域的技能。
