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
