To achieve this, we combine genome sequencing, phylogenetics, comparative methods, evolutionary theory, and bioinformatics. For more information, please take a look at our lab website.

The reliability of phylogenetic analysis relies on the quality of the data and the fitness of the substitution models. E&E Joint Webinar: Some benefits of blue sky and open phylogenetics research for understanding SARS-CoV-2 Event | Thu 9 July 2020 Having spent much of the last 15 years trying to improve molecular phylogenetics, I had formed the fairly firm view that my research was very interesting (of course!!!) but rather useless in the short term. E&E Joint Webinar: Walking in Wallacea: Expanding the species inventory on Buton Island, Sulawesi Event | Thu 9 July 2020 The central islands of Indonesia, between Java, Bali and Kalimantan (Borneo) on the west and Papua on the east - are a living laboratory for the study of evolution, known as the Wallacea region. IQ-TREE: Novel methods for phylogenetic inference Event | Tue 17 April 2018 In this talk I will present three new computational methods for phylogenetics: (i) a fast and accurate model selection approach (ModelFinder), (ii) Rob Lanfear Story | Thursday 29 September 2016 The thing I enjoy the most about teaching is that it makes learning new things a key part of my job.
