We have a new paper out led by Kyunghun Min and  James Konopka on the lab-based genomic evolution of Candida albicans strains in PLOS Pathogens.

We have a major new paper examining the genomic basis of rapid parallel adaptation in threespine stickleback out in Science Advances in collaboration with Mike Bell and David Kingsley’s lab. The work is also summarized in a Stony Brook news story.

We have a new paper out led by Aleksandra Žegarac and Joachim Burger on bronze age European family structure out in Scientific Reports.

Kerry Reid and Krishna Veeramah have a new review on stickleback evolutionary genomics published today in Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics.

Congratulations to Sarah Vaccaro who has received a 2021 Biology-URECA Award to work over the summer!

This award is generously sponsored with funding from the Three Village Garden Club to Undergraduate Biology

Check out Krishna talking about dog evolution on Nicky Campbell’s podcast, One Of The Family.

Our paper on the evolution of gibbon LAVA elements, led by Mariam Okhovat and Lucia Carbone, is now out in PNAS.

Congratulations to Dr Kerry Reid, who has been awarded this year’s American Fisheries Society Genetics Section Early Career Award!

As the new semester begins, we welcome a number of new faces into the lab. Jeffrey Gaillard, a new student in the E&E Master’s program, will be doing research in the Veeramah Lab. Alex Kwakye will be starting in the Genetics program and will do a rotation with us during the Fall 2020 semester. Mariana Escobar Rodriguez, currently an undergraduate in the UNAM Genome Science program, will be spending the next year (virtually) with us to complete her final year project.
