This fusion event is a key evolutionary marker distinguishing humans from other great apes, as humans have 46 chromosomes while chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans possess 48. The fusion occurred through an end-to-end joining of two ancestral...
We study the evolutionary genomics of marine invertebrates to understand their origins and diversity. Our lab combines high-throughput sequencing and single-cell transcriptomics to explore a wide range of non-model systems. We are particularly...
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...
In the vast and complex world of genetics, our chromosomes are like carefully arranged bookshelves — each holding critical information that defines who we are. But what happens when those books are shuffled, inverted, or swapped? The answer lies in...
dagchainer.sourceforge.net - The DAGchainer software computes chains of syntenic genes found within complete genome sequences. As input, DAGchainer accepts a list of gene pairs with sequence homology along with their genome coordinates. Using a scoring function which accounts...
