We study the regulation and evolution of gene expression using a combination of experimental and computational approaches.

Our work brings together quantitative genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology to achieve a deeper understanding of how

genetic variation within and between species affects genome-wide gene expression and ultimately shapes the phenotypic diversity of life.

 

Some of our long-term goals are to better understand:

1) how new mutations affect gene expression

2) what selective pressures act on these mutations

3) how (and how often) changes in gene expression affect other phenotypes
