What we do
In the Evolutionary Systems Biology Group, we study the evolution and evolvability of biological systems at all levels of biological organization, from genes and genomes to biological networks and whole organisms. We develop bioinformatics tools to integrate data from a variety of sources, including comparative whole-genome sequence data, microarray expression data, and high-throughput protein interaction data. Our work uses comparative analysis of genomic data, laboratory evolution experiments and mathematical modelling.
