Dunning Lab

The genomics of rapid adaptation

We are evolutionary biologists who combine cutting-edge genomic techniques, comparative analyses and experimental approaches to understand how organisms adapt to their environment. 

Whilst a majority of our research is focused on the grass family, we have worked with many systems including insects, birds, palms and fish.
