More recently, we have developed and validated a strategy that leverages Drosophila genetics to enhance the power of human genetic studies (Shulman et al. 2011). Despite the promise of genome-wide ...

The sequencing group at Celera Genomics Corporation has cooperated with the European, Canadian and American genome projects to demonstrate that a genomic sequence as large as that of Drosophila ...

A recent study using genome sequencing of 30 elephants has identified five distinct lineages in India, highlighting a ...

Many insights gained from researching with Drosophila therefore provide important indications of how a process might unfold in mammals or humans. Analyzing the genome of a fly is easier than of a ...

A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene ...

Most people see fruit flies as a nuisance. A scientist at Washington State University Vancouver sees them as the key to understanding evolution.

I am interested in how (genetic underpinnings) and why (evolutionary reasons) animals are so diverse. To examine these questions, I integrate data from different scales, from molecules to organismal ...
