Katju lab
Evolutionary genetics and genomics
We combine experimental evolution in C. elegans with high-throughput genomic and classical genetic approaches to study fundamental questions in evolutionary biology pertaining to the nature of spontaneous mutations and the evolution of new genes by duplication.
