- 12/25 Recombination Suppression Drives Expansion of the Drosophila Dot Chromosome
- Research:
The research in my lab combines functional and population genomic
approaches in a variety of species of Drosophila to better understand
how gene regulatory networks evolve at the molecular level. By using
computational approaches to generate evolutionary hypotheses that can
be tested via the genetic engineering of model species our work
bridges the disciplines of evolutionary biology, molecular biology,
and bioinformatics. - Publications: Visit my Google Scholar profile for an up-to-date publication list
