Current Research and Scholarly Interests
Research in the lab addresses problems in evolutionary biology and human
genetics through a combination of mathematical modeling, computer
simulations, development of statistical methods, and inference from
population-genetic data. Our current work covers topics such as human
genetic variation, inference of human evolutionary history, the role of
population genetics in the search for disease-susceptibility genes, the
relationship of gene trees and species trees, and mathematical properties
of statistics used for analyzing genetic variability.
