Kreitman

Focus
The lab pursues four interrelated research themes:


 * 1) Molecular population genetics and evolution (Drosophila and Arabidopsis)
 * 2) Functional evolution of cis-regulatory sequences (Drosophila)
 * 3) Canalization in development and evolution (Drosophila)
 * 4) Evolutionary dynamics of disease resistance and pathogenicity (Arabidopsis)
