Population & Evolutionary Genetics Faculty

Page
We study variation within and between populations at the molecular and phenotypic levels. We strive to understand the evolutionary forces molding genetic variation in natural populations and the mechanistic basis of phenotypic evolution. Our study systems...

Natural selection and other evolutionary forces leave characteristic signatures in the genetic variation within populations. My group uses a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches to study how this genetic...

Population samples of DNA sequences contain information about both contemporary and ancient processes and events. I use mathematical models to describe how these current and historical factors conspire to produce the patterns...

Title: Statistics and Dynamics of Adaptation from de novo Mutations Abstract: All living organisms are shaped by natural selection. Therefore, by studying natural selection as a generic process, we may gain insights into broad questions regarding the...
