A major focus of our lab is understanding the effects of genetic variation on molecular phenotypes and human disease. We develop methods for integrating diverse functional genomic datasets of transcription, chromatin modifications, regulator...

bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - This is the andi program for estimating the evolutionary distance between closely related genomes. These distances can be used to rapidly infer phylogenies for big sets of genomes. Because andi does not compute full alignments, it is so efficient...

Abstract submissions for our upcoming symposium on the Genomics of Adaptation that will take place as part of the 16th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB). The conference will take place from August 20th - August 25th,...

They are using the latest DNA sequencing technology to read the genetic makeup of cancer cells within tumours in ever greater detail, teasing out patterns of evolution (evolutionary rule books), cancer heterogeneity and working out what changes have...

The Vicoso group investigates how sex chromosomes evolve over time, and what biological forces are driving their patterns of differentiation. The Vicoso group is interested in understanding several aspects of the biology of sex chromosomes, and...

A while ago we posted a request for online resources on must-read papers in evolutionary biology, for a literature club. We received many answers in the meantime

g-evol.uni-muenster.de - The Priority Programme (SPP 2349) funded by German Science Foundation (DFG) started 2022: „Genomic Basis of Evolutionary Innovations (GEvol)“ GEvol is unique as it will use, for the first time, a large taxonomic group to focus on one...

A fascinating new study published in Science (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aef8874?) introduces a computational method called TRACE, which allows scientists to search modern human genomes for genetic traces of ancient populations that...

The core expertise of the lab is comparative genomics. We combine evolutionary bioinformatics and molecular biology to understand the mechanism, function and evolution of genes. We study the processes of gene expression and protein synthesis, and...
