Genomes & Evolution
The incredible advancements of the genomics era make it possible to identify and explore the impact of genomic variation, both in the context of evolutionary and functional questions. Western Biology has many faculty members conducting research in this area who specialize in systematics, molecular ecology, behavioural genetics, and genome evolution.
