Fish Genomics

Description

Fascinated by the diversity of fish, this group aims to understand processes and factors creating variation and differentiation at the genomic level.

We analyse large-scale genomic data sets to gain a better understanding how processes like selection, drift, mutation, and recombination act in concert to create the observed genomic patterns of varying diversity and divergence along the genome. To achieve this aim we combine population genetics, bioinformatics, and an understanding of the study organisms (mainly fish).
