Evolutionary genomics of social insects. Extensive theoretical work has explained how and why complex societies evolve. However, only little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms responsible for social phenotypes. We have been...

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...

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...

Ineos Oxford Institute of Antimicrobial Research – Department of Biology – University of Oxford Our research centres on the use of genetics/genomics and phenotypic studies to address complex questions in the ecology, epidemiology and evolution of...

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...

The natural world is a diverse place. To contend with highly variable environments, organisms have evolved a wide range of traits and behaviours as adaptations to their environment. From armour plating in stickleback to trade-offs between growth...
