My lab is part of the University of Hull Evolutionary Biology Group and investigates problems in evolutionary genetics using DNA and bioinformatic technologies. I’m interested in comparative genomics, large scale phylogenetics and molecular evolution. I’m particularly interested in the way in which the evolutionary forces of recombination, selection, mutation and drift influence genomic content. We also work on projects using phylogenetics and DNA barcoding to better understand biodiversity and the speciation process.

Some projects currently underway in my laboratory:

  • The genomics of asexual reproduction in nematodes
  • Comparative genomics and the evolution of genome content
  • DNA barcoding and environmental sequencing of agriculturally important species
  • Gene copy number variation and cichlid adaptive radiations
  • Bioinformatic pipelines, phylogenetics, and SGS data
