Presentation 54 Saturday Keynote 12:45 PM ‐ 2:00 PM Silver 809  Out of the Trees, Darwin’s Tree Building Legacy

  Insects transmit their genetic traits exactly like humans, but breed much faster. By examining how their genomes evolve from generation to generation and how those genomes differ among related species, knowledge can be gained that can eventually be used to Yight inherited human disease.

Dr. DeSalle is in the forefront of this effort. To date, he has isolated the genes and sequenced the DNA of 500 species of drosophila‐fruit Ylies‐from embryos to maturity. With the help of Dr. Ward Wheeler, also of the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, this information is used to create a database comparing the Ylies' genetic relationships with other species and organisms. Their ultimate goal is to do similar research on all the approximately 3,500 species of fruit Ylies, to build a complete evolutionary tree.

Our common genetic heritage‐we share 36 percent of our genes with insects and 99 percent with apes and chimpanzees‐is one of the many topics examined in the Museum's exhibition The Genomic Revolution, which Dr. DeSalle curated and which opened in May 2001.

Dr. DeSalle also works closely with scientists from the New York Wildlife Conservation Society on research in conservation genetics. With Dr. George Amato, he has developed a DNA test for caviar that can determine from a single egg if the product was illegally obtained from an endangered species. With Dr. Howard Rosenbaum, he is analyzing the DNA of blubber from the humpbacked whale of Madagascar. The results of this research will be used to determine if these whales have sufYicient genetic diversity to resist disease, or whether special conservation efforts will be needed to ensure survival of the species.
