My main topics of interest are: The impact of non tree-like evolution such as horizontal gene transfers and hybridization on species biology Evolution and adaptation of animals in the absence of sexual reproduction and the underlying...

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the group of Jonathan Henshaw at the University of Freiburg in Germany (https://www.henshaw-lab.com/). We are a primarily theoretical lab working on a broad set of topics in evolutionary biology, with...

For scientists in the MBL’s Gribble Lab, the rotifer (Brachionus manjavacas) is used as a model organism to study evolution, stress responses, the biology of aging, and maternal effects. Rotifers are small, easy to grow in the lab, have a short...

Welcome to the Rennison lab in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California San Diego. We are a group interested in the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity. We study the processes related to biodiversity using methods from...

Genome sequencing projects have enormous potential for benefiting human endeavors. However, just as acquiring a language's vocabulary does not enable one to speak it, databases that list the amino acid composition of proteins do not directly tell us...

We study mechanisms of cancer evolution by using state-of-the-art genomic approaches at the bench and in analysis. Accurate genome reconstruction is our other major area of interest. We also collaborate on important questions for which our expertise...

A new, grant-funded opportunity seeks early career researchers interested in life's origins: https://templetonideaslab.umbc.edu/ Applications are invited to an all-expenses paid position at a 5-day "IdeasLab"* workshop to be held near Prague CZ...

synorth.genereg.net - Genomic regulatory blocks are chromosomal regions spanned by long clusters of highly conserved noncoding elements devoted to long-range regulation of developmental genes, often immobilizing other, unrelated genes into long-lasting syntenic...

The bakers yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal model organism to understand mechanisms of meiotic chromosome segregation. In S. cerevisiae and in mammals, the majority of meiotic crossovers are formed through a highly conserved MSH4p-MSH5p,...
