 We study the population and evolutionary genetics and genomics
of plants and other species. Our work has included a genome-wide analysis of natural genetic variation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana,
aimed at understanding the interplay of mutation, recombination,
genetic drift, demography, and natural selection in creating observed
patterns of variation. We also develop methods to infer recent
selective events at the DNA level with the goal of identifying adaptive
genetic variation.
