Abstract
My research contributes a better understanding of how the mmd gene has developed over evolutionary time to serve an integral role in neuronal membrane function, and how the Drosophila gene has arisen from ancestral genes in distant as well as closely related genomes. I will be presenting on the phylogenetic history of this gene and identifying possible homologous sequences in other species using bioinformatics principles as well as the evolutionary history of the other six ADAM proteins found in Drosophila melanogaster.
