Description
The molecular evolutionary genetics TG uses a variety of cutting edge tools including next generation sequencing, bioinformatics and functional genomics to understand the evolution of behavior, sex and chromosomes in a variety of species such as insects, plants and animals. Evolution of genomes and organisms is the underpinning for all of biology and fundamental to our understanding of organisms and systems.
