This project aims to develop new genomic approaches for understanding how genetic mutations can differentially affect reproductive success in males and females. Applying novel tests, this project aims to uncover previously hidden genetic conflicts between the sexes. This will provide significant benefits, such as new tools that will be broadly applicable to the wider research community, and help to answer key questions in genetics and evolutionary biology in the current genomic era.

该项目旨在开发新的基因组方法，以了解基因突变如何对男性和女性的生殖成功产生不同的影响。该项目旨在通过应用新颖的测试来揭示性别之间先前隐藏的遗传冲突。这将提供显着的好处，例如将广泛适用于更广泛的研究界的新工具，并有助于回答当前基因组时代遗传学和进化生物学的关键问题。
