  text: Together, copy-number and point mutations form the basis for most evolutionary
    novelty, through the process of gene duplication and divergence. While a plethora
    of genomic data reveals the long-term fate of diverging coding sequences and their
    cis-regulatory elements, little is known about the early dynamics around the duplication
    event itself. In microorganisms, selection for increased gene expression often
    drives the expansion of gene copy-number mutations, which serves as a crude adaptation,
    prior to divergence through refining point mutations. Using a simple synthetic
    genetic reporter system that can distinguish between copy-number and point mutations,
    we study their early and transient adaptive dynamics in real time in Escherichia
    coli. We find two qualitatively different routes of adaptation, depending on the
    level of functional improvement needed. In conditions of high gene expression
    demand, the two mutation types occur as a combination. However, under low gene
    expression demand, copy-number and point mutations are mutually exclusive; here,
    owing to their higher frequency, adaptation is dominated by copy-number mutations,
    in a process we term amplification hindrance. Ultimately, due to high reversal
    rates and pleiotropic cost, copy-number mutations may not only serve as a crude
    and transient adaptation, but also constrain sequence divergence over evolutionary
    time scales.

  text: The main idea behind the Core Project is to teach first year students at IST
    scientific communication skills and let them practice by presenting their research
    within an interdisciplinary environment. Over the course of the first semester,
    students participated in seminars, where they shared their results with the colleagues
    from other fields and took part in discussions on relevant subjects. The main
    focus during this sessions was on delivering the information in a simplified and
    comprehensible way, going into the very basics of a subject if necessary. At the
    end, the students were asked to present their research in the written form to
    exercise their writing skills. The reports were gathered in this document. All
    of them were reviewed by the  teaching assistants and write-ups illustrating unique
    stylistic features and, in general, an outstanding level of writing skills, were
    honorably mentioned in the section "Selected Reports".

  text: "Mutations are the raw material of evolution and come in many different flavors.
    Point mutations change a single letter in the DNA sequence, while copy number
    mutations like duplications or deletions add or remove many letters of the DNA
    sequence simultaneously.  Each type of mutation exhibits specific properties like
    its rate of formation and reversal. \r\nGene expression is a fundamental phenotype
    that can be altered by both, point and copy number mutations. The following thesis
    is concerned with the dynamics of gene expression evolution and how it is affected
    by the properties exhibited by point and copy number mutations. Specifically,
    we are considering i) copy number mutations during adaptation to fluctuating environments
    and ii) the interaction of copy number and point mutations during adaptation to
    constant environments.  "

  text: Organisms cope with change by taking advantage of transcriptional regulators.
    However, when faced with rare environments, the evolution of transcriptional regulators
    and their promoters may be too slow. Here, we investigate whether the intrinsic
    instability of gene duplication and amplification provides a generic alternative
    to canonical gene regulation. Using real-time monitoring of gene-copy-number mutations
    in Escherichia coli, we show that gene duplications and amplifications enable
    adaptation to fluctuating environments by rapidly generating copy-number and,
    therefore, expression-level polymorphisms. This amplification-mediated gene expression
    tuning (AMGET) occurs on timescales that are similar to canonical gene regulation
    and can respond to rapid environmental changes. Mathematical modelling shows that
    amplifications also tune gene expression in stochastic environments in which transcription-factor-based
    schemes are hard to evolve or maintain. The fleeting nature of gene amplifications
    gives rise to a generic population-level mechanism that relies on genetic heterogeneity
    to rapidly tune the expression of any gene, without leaving any genomic signature.

  text: Organisms cope with change by employing transcriptional regulators. However,
    when faced with rare environments, the evolution of transcriptional regulators
    and their promoters may be too slow. We ask whether the intrinsic instability
    of gene duplication and amplification provides a generic alternative to canonical
    gene regulation. By real-time monitoring of gene copy number mutations in E. coli,
    we show that gene duplications and amplifications enable adaptation to fluctuating
    environments by rapidly generating copy number, and hence expression level, polymorphism.
    This ‘amplification-mediated gene expression tuning’ occurs on timescales similar
    to canonical gene regulation and can deal with rapid environmental changes. Mathematical
    modeling shows that amplifications also tune gene expression in stochastic environments
    where transcription factor-based schemes are hard to evolve or maintain. The fleeting
    nature of gene amplifications gives rise to a generic population-level mechanism
    that relies on genetic heterogeneity to rapidly tune expression of any gene, without
    leaving any genomic signature.
