Buffalo Evolutionary and Anthropological Genomics Laboratory (BEAGL)
Investigating the evolutionary history of genetic variations to explain biological diversity and disease in modern and ancient human populations.
WHAT WE DO
We investigate the contributions of genomic structural variations—beyond single nucleotide variations—to human evolution, combining tools from genomics, functional genetics, anthropology, and evolutionary biology to mechanistically link genetic variation to phenotypic diversity.
