Research in our lab broadly encompasses bioinformatics and plant evolutionary biology—from bioinformatics software/algorithm development to genome-wide analyses of gene families phylogenetics. We are a relatively new lab and the current investigations are directed at molecular systematics and comparative genomics, with a particular focus on the evolution of polyploid plants. Polyploidy (whole genom duplication), the process of genome doubling that gives rise to organisms with multiple sets of chromosomes, is a major evolutionary force in both plants and animals. Our leading conceptual questions pertain to the consequences of genome doubling, such as deciphering the mechanisms that give rise to novel morphological or ecological features found in polyploids. Understanding the pattern of how such novelty might arise requires an understanding of the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of polyploid plants and their diploid relatives.
