Genomics.

We use comparative and population genomics to understand:
   • genomic divergence during ecological adaptation and speciation
   • evolutionary properties of new genes and copy-number variants (CNVs)
   • mutational spectra under environmental stressors
   • the evolution of young/duplicate genes, sex chromosomes, and TEs

We use metagenomics/metagenetics methods to study:
   • environmental samples & eDNA for monitoring biodiversity
   • their application for detecting invasive and endangered organisms, and pathogens
   • spatiotemporal patterns across environmental gradients
