Lab groups associated with BioKIC
The lab groups below are associated with BioKIC and contain links to their primary websites.
Cadillo Lab
Lead: Hinsby Cadillo–Quiroz
Ecology of carbon rich ecosystems, interactions of microbes as potential ecosystem drivers, and genomics and evolution of microbes and their key innovations.
Cartwright Lab
Lead: Reed Cartwright
Interface of genetics, statistics, and software development. Development of statistical models to estimate evolutionary process from genomic datasets; primary focus on mutations.
Franz Lab
Lead: Nico Franz
Systematics and biodiversity of New World insects, development of novel logic-based concepts and tools for biodiversity informatics, and novel forms of outreach related to these themes.
Gile Lab
Lead: Gillian Gile
Protist diversity, evolution, and symbiosis; including termite hindgut protists, plastid evolution, and the Azolla-Nostoc symbiosis.
Pigg Lab
Lead: Kathleen Pigg
Evolution, biogeography, and diversification of angiosperms and other plants through comparative analysis of exceptionally preserved Tertiary plant fossils and their modern relatives.
Rosenberg Lab
Lead: Michael Rosenberg
Use of computational and statistical techniques to address questions about the evolution of life; spanning from molecular evolution to macroevolution and from single organisms to ecosystems.
Wilson Lab
Lead: Melissa Wilson
Sex chromosome evolution, sex-biased processes, population genetics, and comparative genomics. Public science engagement and outreach.
Wojciechowski Lab
Lead: Martin Wojciechowski
Phylogenetics, genomics, and evolution of plants, particularly papilionoid legumes and cacti, and plant community ecology and floristics of western North America.
