Young Wha Lee
About
I am a 6th year graduate student in the University Program in Genetics and Genomics at Duke, co-advised by Dr. John Willis (Duke) and Dr. John Kelly (University of Kansas). I am interested in complex trait variation and evolution.
- What is the the genetic basis of complex traits?
- What processes maintain standing variation for complex traits?
- Is the genetic architecture of the trait itself evolvable?
- Does the genetic architecture of standing variation constrain adaptation?
I work on a population of annual 'Mimulus guttatus'
