Josep Comeron, PhD

June 26, 2025 By

The Comeron Lab is interested in understanding the causes and consequences of variation across genomes, among individuals of the same species, and between species. His team pays particular attention to recombination as a fundamental parameter in the evolution of genes, genomes and, ultimately, species. They study the molecular causes and evolutionary consequences of recombination variation. To this end they apply an interdisciplinary approach using population genetics, bioinformatics, computer simulations, traditional genetics, and next-generation sequencing techniques to study genomes and transcriptomes. They take full advantage of the unparalleled genetic and genomic tools available in the Drosophila model system.
