Research interests
One gene can produce several proteins in a process called alternative splicing. We investigate this phenomenon using genetic methods and try to clarify its connection to adaptation to changing environmental conditions. This research will produce information on cold adaptation which is one of the key things when e. g. pest species are spreading more and more northwards.
