News of the lab
| Dec 24, 2025 | New paper from the lab in Molecular Ecology! Corey’s PhD work on Waterbuck chromosome evolution is just published - here we assembled a chromosome-level genome for the Defassa waterbuck, we sequenced 24 historical museum samples and combined it with modern samples to study population genetics and the impact of polymorphic Robertsonian fusions in this sepcies Chromosome-level genomics and historical museum collections reveal new insights into population structure and chromosome evolution of waterbuck |

| Sep 10, 2025 | We welcome Kara Adamson, new MSc-R student in the lab. Kara will work on waterbuck and polymorphic Rbs  |
| Apr 04, 2025 | New paper from the lab in Animal Genetics! We developed a new method to detect chromosome rearrangements (in this case reciprocal translocations) in pigs using Hi-C. Great job by Frances Burden, in collaboration with Craig Lewis and PIC. Thanks to BBSRC IAA funding Kent Impact Acceleration! Detecting chromosomal rearrangements in boars using Hi-C |
