Steven Reppert, MD, the Higgins Family Professor of Neuroscience and chair and professor of neurobiology, was interviewed by national media last week about his work sequencing the half-billion letters that make up the monarch butterfly’s genome. Dr. Reppert’s research is a powerful new tool in science’s quest to understand the genetic basis for how these fist-sized insects migrate from as far away as 2,000 miles to a small region in Mexico roughly 300 square miles in size.
