Theoretical and Experimental Evolution

我们的研究重点是作用于基因组结构和性系统的进化力量，以解释物种之间的显着多样性。使用数学模型，我们将探索生命周期不同阶段之间冲突的含义（例如，单倍体精子/卵子和二倍体成体之间的冲突）。利用实验进化，我们的目标是揭示酵母中物种形成的潜在过程。 通过全基因组测序，我们将确定导致生殖隔离的基因。最后，我们正在开发新的生物信息学工具来研究性状对多样化的影响，并将其应用于一个关于性系统的大规模数据库。

Our research focuses on the evolutionary forces acting on genome structure and sexual*systems to account for the remarkable diversity among species. Using mathematical*models, we will explore the implications of conflict between different phases of the*life cycle (e.g., conflicts between haploid sperm/eggs and diploid adults). Using*experimental evolution, we aim to uncover the processes underlying speciation in*yeast. Through whole genome sequencing, we will determine the genes contributing*to reproductive isolation. Finally, we are developing new bioinformatics tools to*investigate the influence of traits on diversification and are applying these to a*large-scale database on sexual systems.
