研究领域

My lab investigates problems in evolutionary biology using DNA and bioinformatic technologies. I’m interested in evolutionary comparative genomics, gene duplication, large-scale phylogenetics and the molecular basis of adaptive ecological change. I’m particularly interested in the way in which the evolutionary forces of recombination, selection, mutation and drift influence genomic content. In addition we also work on projects using phylogenetics and DNA barcoding to better understand biodiversity and the speciation process. Some projects currently underway in my laboratory: Gene copy number variation and cichlid adaptive radiation The genomics of asexual reproduction in nematodes Comparative genomics and the evolution of genome content Bioinformatic pipelines, phylogenetics, and SGS data DNA barcoding of agriculturally important species
