About me:
I am interested in how genome evolution relates to phenotypic evolution: how do changes, especially macro-mutational changes, at the genome level affect the phenotype of an organism and how can this relate to adaptation? To explore this, my PhD is involved with investigating the impact of transposable element insertions on host evolution, using molluscs and domesticated animals as study taxa.
