Sean B. Carroll Biography

Sean B. Carroll is one of the most popular and richest Biologist who was born on September 17, 1960 in Toledo, Ohio, United States.

In 1987, Carroll set up a laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison “focused on understanding how genes get used in different ways to generate the diversity of form that we see”. The Laboratory of Cell and Molecular Biology lists Carroll’s interests as “Genetic control of body pattern in fruit flies, butterflies, and other animals”.

In 1989, he received the Shaw Scientist Award from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.

Sean B. Carroll (born September 17, 1960) is an American evolutionary developmental biologist, author, educator and executive producer. He is the Allan Wilson Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His studies focus on the evolution of cis-regulatory elements in the regulation of gene expression in the context of biological development, using Drosophila as a model system. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, of the American Philosophical Society (2007), of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for Advancement of Science, as well as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.

Douglas H. Erwin, reviewing Endless Forms Most Beautiful for Artificial Life, remarks that life forms from Drosophila to man have far fewer genes than many biologists expected – in man’s case, only some 20,000, which is about the same as a fly. He notes the “astonishing morphological diversity” of animals coming from “such a limited number of genes”. He praises Carroll’s “insightful and enthusiastic” style, writing in a “witty and engaging” way, pulling the reader into the complexities of Hox and PAX-6, as well as celebrating the Cambrian explosion of life forms, and much else.

Carroll is at the forefront of a field known as evolutionary developmental biology (also known as “evo-devo”), studying how gene changes control the evolution of body parts and patterns. He is the Allan Wilson Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

What animal does the scientist Shawn Carroll study?

Carroll is also studying the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster , to reveal how genes control the development and evolution of animal form.

What was an interesting discovery that Sean Carroll made about the

paintbrush gene?

Carroll had already learned that the paintbrush gene itself was identical in the two types of fly. So he extended his search through their D.N.A. And in one place, just outside the paintbrush gene, he found an important clue: a stretch of D.N.A. that was different in the fly with wing spots.

Why is Sean Carroll leaving Caltech?

Caltech is great, and I’ve known wonderful people there. They would be happy for me to stay (as far as I know!), but this specific position is no longer a good fit for me , so I’ve decided to move on. I honestly don’t know where I will be next – there are possibilities, but various wave functions have not yet collapsed.

What is the field of evo devo?

Evolutionary developmental biology (informally, evo-devo) is a field of biological research that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to infer how developmental processes evolved.
