J.L. Oliver's personal page

I led a multidisciplinary research team in Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Computational Genomics at the University of Granada, Spain, until my retirement in 2020. My current research explores the evolutionary dynamics of genome sequence complexity in a variety of biological systems, including cyanobacteria, endosymbiotic organisms, and viruses.
