RESEARCH INTEREST GROUPS

Evolutionary and Comparative Genetics & Genomics

Members of the Evolutionary and Comparative Genetics and Genomics (ECGG) RIG are interested in gene and genome evolution, comparative genomics, and modeling evolution. The ECGG RIG includes over 55 members representing five colleges. Examples of research interests for this group include: biodiversity, mechanisms and implications of gene duplications, host-pathogen coevolution, and the diverse genomes of microbial species and communities. This RIG hosts external seminar speakers, lightning talks highlighting the diversity of evolutionary and comparative research at NC State, and “think tank” sessions for grant idea development.
