RESEARCH SUMMARY

Our laboratory has done genetic studies on sheep, cattle, cats, dogs, fish, and wild sheep and fish populations from domestic animals. More recently (since 2013), we have been interested in the comparative population genetics of human and sheep populations that lived in the Neolithic period.
