The Forefront of Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics
Researchers in E&E apply empirical to theoretical approaches across a wide variety of microbes, plants and animals. While some research is focused on demystifying the ever-increasing genomic databases for diverse taxa, other researchers probe the factors that define species or make use field experiments to understand species interactions and fates. Our focus is on the importance of basic science, while we also work to see sound application of our research in the areas of genetically modified organisms, resource management, climate change and the genetics of disease.
