Research in the Hiller lab revolves around a central question in genomics and evolutionary biology: What is the genomic basis of phenotypic differences between species?
Our focus is explicitly on differences between species as opposed to differences within a species. We aim at discovering the genomic determinants of macroevolutionary trait differences, which is important to understand how nature’s spectacular phenotypic diversity has evolved. Our current focus is on studying the genomic basis of vertebrate traits that have potential applicants in biomedicine or other fields.
