Overview
Research in our group focuses in the use of comparative genomics to learn about the evolution and function of genes and genomes. We search for
the footprints of natural selection and evolutionary innovation, and analyze the patterns of variation of substitution rates across different genes and time periods.
We perfom studies to identify amino acid repeat expansions in vertebrate proteins, and gain insights into their contribution to the evolution of regulatory and
developmental functions. We also develop novel computational approaches to identify transcriptional regulatory sequences.
