| Taxa Studied: |
Invertebrate Animals, Dipterans (Drosophila, housefly) |
| Techniques Employed: |
Microarrays, Sanger Sequencing, Solexa (Illumina) Sequencing, Bioinformatics/Sequence Analysis, RNA interference(RNAi) |
| Research Description: |
I study the evolution of sex chromosomes, sex determination, and sexual dimorphism. My lab uses comparative, population, and functional genomics approaches to identify signatures of sex-specific adaptation. We then test some of our hypotheses with direct experimentation using the powerful Drosophila genetic toolkit. |
