Buffalo Evolutionary and Anthropological Genomics Laboratory

We helped Atilla lab to analyze transcriptomics data to investigate the role of lipid pathways in necroptosis. This paper is recently published in RSC Chemical Biology and they wrote a really nice blog post. Read

X’s lab led this study on extensive long-read sequencing of multiple bird genomes and follow-up comparative/functional analysis to find interesting overlap between structural variation hotspots and piRNA hotspots. The evolutionary implications of this overlap has

If you follow our work, you may have remembered that we have published a paper on the curious evolution of genetic variation in the growth hormone receptor. Briefly, we have found that a deletion of

Petar Pajic led this project that we designed with Stefan Ruhl Laboratory on how mucin proteins have evolved. The roles of mucins in different biological processes are becoming more appreciated recently in both evolutionary and

We are delighted to have the GLAM-Evogen symposium back in person. It will be held on August 13, 2022, at the University at Buffalo. The keynote speaker will be Dr. April Wei from Cornell University.

Izzy Starr (they/them/their) led this project along with our collaborators Ani Sinha, and Kristina Seiffert to investigate the relationship between recent evolution and immune-mediated trends in human skin. Our major finding is that there are
