Babbitt Lab for 
​Evolutionary Genomics
 

Lab focus and News


We are motivated by questions aimed at understanding how cis-regulatory element evolution impacts organismal phenotypes, how developmental mechanisms evolve, and how comparative evolutionary genomics can inform our understanding of the genotype to phenotype map. Specifically, we use comparative high-throughput sequencing and functional genomics to understanding how differences in transcription and regulation lead to differences in phenotypes.
