Comparative genomics of gene expression lab

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 03:35:46 -0500

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 we are particularly interested in the phenomenon of translational recoding (programmed exceptions to the genetic code). For more information, see Research.

Luo Lab | Symbiosis Genomics & Evolution

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 03:30:30 -0500

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 interested in how evolutionary novelty arises, with a focus on animal development and photosymbiosis.

Research Directions

Stony corals: evolution of novelty and photosymbiosis

Symbiotic acoels: cell type evolution and photosymbiosis

Animal genomes: structural evolution and gene regulation

Liberles Research Group

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 03:39:53 -0500

The Liberles Research Group works in the areas of computational comparative genomics, and molecular evolution. The central theme in the research group is the detection and characterization of the lineage-specific divergence of protein-encoding genes. Much of the work in the group is done in a phylogenetic context. Ultimately, we want to ask the question, “What makes each species unique at the genomic level?” and “what are the processes driving the functional divergence of genomes?”.

Khalturin Lab

Wed, 06 May 2026 19:04:26 -0500

Our lab focuses on the comparative genomics and developmental biology of basal metazoans, particularly on jellyfish and hydra models. We are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell dynamics, regeneration, and the evolutionary origins of these processes in early-diverging animal lineages.

Rennison Lab !

Sat, 26 Oct 2024 15:10:32 -0500

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 the fields of evolution, ecology, population genomics, and theory.
