Artyom Kopp is a Professor in the Department of Evolution and Ecology at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on molecular genetic mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes, particularly in Drosophila species. Key interests include genomic architecture, sexual dimorphism, gene regulation, and the evolutionary origins of novel traits. He leads the Kopp Lab, which utilizes genomic and developmental approaches to study how genetic changes drive morphological and behavioral adaptations.
Education details are not explicitly listed, but his work emphasizes comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and developmental genetics. Research highlights include studies on de novo gene evolution, regulatory changes in sensory systems, and the genetic basis of sexual dimorphism. Notable projects involve highly contiguous genome assemblies of Drosophilidae species and single-cell analyses of developmental processes.
His articles explore topics like gene expression dynamics, evolutionary innovations in Drosophila morphology, and the genomic basis of sexual traits. While no awards are listed, his contributions to Drosophila genomics and developmental evolution are significant. He advises no listed students but collaborates extensively on genomic resource development and evolutionary systems biology.
The Kopp Lab (http://kopplab.ucdavis.edu/) integrates computational and experimental methods to address fundamental questions in evolutionary genetics. Current work includes dissecting the genetic pathways governing species-specific traits and understanding how regulatory changes contribute to phenotypic diversity.
