Our research aims to understand the genetic basis of evolutionary change, and specifically how adaptation and constraints shape divergence between species. To achieve this goal we employ computational analyses, field research and wetlab experiments. While our primary experimental system is yeast, we also work on other systems through collaborations. Ultimately, we hope to generate new insights into how species adapt and become different from one another from the molecular to an organism level. Projects: http://labsites.rochester.edu/faylab/research/ Interests: Evolution of gene regulation; Comparative genomics and domestication; Disease consequences of human evolution Skills our lab is looking for: Programming experience (R, Python, etc) for computational projects, but not needed for wetlab projects.
