Jeffrey Kidd
Professor
We use molecular and computational tools to address fundamental questions in genome biology, evolution, and disease.
We use canines as a model system to understand how genomes evolve through time and the sources of genomic variation. The activity and impact of mobile elements is a particular focus.
We are an interdisciplinary team that works with experts in genome sequencing and analysis, molecular biology, population genetics, and bioinformatics.
