Research

My areas of research involve population genetics and molecular evolution


Applications

Evolutionary analysis of genetic data from virus, cancer and humans (among other organisms)

Genetic diversity and genetic differentiation

Selection among alternative evolutionary scenarios

Estimation of evolutionary parameters. Substitution, recombination and selection (molecular adaptation), etc

Phylogenetic inference and ancestral sequence reconstruction


Theory

Development of novel substitution models of evolution for DNA, coding DNA and protein sequences

Development of frameworks for the simulation of genetic data under complex evolutionary scenarios

Development of frameworks for the evolutionary analysis of genetic data. I am very interested in approximate Bayesian computation (ABC)

Improvement of novel strategies for the evolutionary analysis of genetic data
