Research interests

As a molecular and evolutionary biologist, I am fascinated by the phenotypic diversity on our planet. I combine molecular data such as genome or transcriptome sequences with bioinformatics to understand how genomes and their evolutionary changes contribute to apparent phenotypic differences.

My search for patterns in genomes that contribute to biodiversity motivates my research, which generally involves molecular biology, comparative and evolutionary genomics, transcriptome analyses and speciation research.

One of my current research foci is on one of the most important phenotypic differences that can exist within a species, that between the sexes. I am investigating this phenomenon in the largest vertebrate group, the fish. Here I am primarily concerned with the evolution of sex chromosomes and their influence on speciation.

In my group, we also study other adaptations of vertebrate groups and try to link these to patterns in the genome. In several projects we deal with collection material and try to obtain as much genetic information as possible. This helps us to record changes in genetic diversity along different time scales.
