Decoding the tree of life through the lens of genomics
In short: Explore the complex work of Rob DeSalle, a researcher at the American Museum of Natural History using large-scale genomic data to map evolutionary relationships.
Dr. DeSalle specializes in molecular systematics, microbial evolution, and genomics. His research focuses on creating bioinformatic tools designed to solve large-scale genomic challenges through phylogenetic systematic approaches.
His work involves investigating the tree of life by utilizing whole genome information, particularly regarding microbial life. Through collaborations with institutions like Cold Spring Harbor Labs and New York University, his group develops methods to identify gene family membership across entire genomes, while also exploring Drosophila systematics.
