PI: YES
Taxa Studied: Invertebrate Animals
Techniques Employed: Quantitative PCR (qPCR), Sanger Sequencing, 454 Pyrosequencing, Solexa (Illumina) Sequencing, Bioinformatics/Sequence Analysis, Antibody Staining, Confocal Microscopy, Degenerate PCR
Research Description: Our lab addresses the question of how complex traits originate during evolution. We primarily study visual systems, eyes, visual behavior and bioluminescence as model traits addressing questions like, when did a particular phenotype evolve? When did the components of that phenotype evolve? Where did those components come from? and What evolutionary processes and mechanisms were involved?
