Research: We use a variety of molecular and bioinformatics approaches to study the evolution of genes, genomes and organisms. Since the growing wealth of genomic data poses exciting opportunities as well as unique challenges, much of our research is integrated with the development of computational tools necessary to analyze evolutionary hypotheses on a genomic scale.
