 Brendan G. HuntPostdoctoral Fellow | Goodisman Lab | Yi Lab I am broadly interested in the evolutionary processes which give rise to and result from phenotypic diversification and social specialization. My research addresses molecular evolution at several levels, including genome sequence, epigenetic information, and transcription.
