Current research in my lab examines historical patterns of diversification among genes, genomes, and organisms. We use transcriptome sequences (RNA-seq), ddRAD-seq and sequences of genes and genomes to study evolution at multiple levels of organization. Taxonomically, we are interested in all fishes with particular emphasis on North American freshwater fishes; however, several projects involve other animal groups. We are also interested in application of high performance computing to analysis of molecular data, and methods of phylogenetic inference.
