The group studies a broad range of animal taxa using morphological and molecular tools to unravel the evolution and development of animal organ systems. To understand the evolution of the biodiversity seen on planet earth is one of the major...

Work include (i) understanding the evolutionary relationships among different prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms; (ii) Understanding the cellular functions of these lineage-specific signature proteins as well as lineage-specific conserved inserts...

clandonaldusa.org - This program calculates the probability that two people have a certain number of generations between them, based on the standard infinite alleles formula of Walsh. It calculates both the probability of being at an exact number of...
