How do evolutionary processes affect the genome? The field of population genomics surveys patterns in the genome within and among populations to make inferences about evolution and the genome.

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Networks of Genome Evolution Replace the Tree of Life Evolutionary biologists used the sequences of multiple genomes of diverse life-forms to construct and compare thousands of phylogenetic trees ...

The Research Program of Genomics and Evolutionary Biology investigates the principles of genome evolution and regulation in plants, microbes and animals. The program provides a timely collaborative ...
