Life
in ancient ice: A Workshop
-
Research Interests:
My lab has several concurrent focal areas of research. The projects have centered
around the following areas:
- Characterization of microorganisms
and nucleic acids
from ancient and environmental
ice,
- Characterization of DNA from ancient
samples,
- Investigations
of introns in fungi and
fish,
- Extraction and
preservation of nucleic
acids,
- Evolutionary events
in plants,
- Plant
apical development,
- Phylogenetics
of fungi,
- Novel
evolutionary strategies
of microorganisms.
