Overview
Research in our lab is focused on evolutionary genetics. We are particularly interested in speciation, hybridization, and the genetics of adaptation, with complementary interests in phenomena such as meiotic recombination. In our research we utilize tools from molecular biology, computational biology, statistics, and modeling. Members of the lab study the genetics of a variety of organisms (including butterflies, conifers, dicots, mice) and share a curiosity about the processes of adapation, hybridization and speciation.
