Broadly, my research interests lie at the intersection of genetics, genomics, evolution, and ecology. More specifically, I use next generation sequencing to study the genetic basis of adaptation in wild unmanipulated organisms. To answer these questions I use a variety of different techniques including linkage mapping, QTL analysis, population genetics, transcriptome sequencing and analysis, quantitative genetics, and phylogenetics. Currently, I am mostly asking these questions in the salmonids (salmon, trout, and char). More specifically, my lab is currently involved with two lines of research.
