Welcome to the Hamilton Lab
Research in the Hamilton lab includes
- Population genetics and molecular evolution, both empirical and theoretical
- Studies of within species genetic polymorphism to estimate population structure, gene flow, and genetic effective population size
- Studies of divergence to infer the processes acting on nucleotide sequences (molecular evolution)
- Development of predictions & hypotheses for population genetic patterns using computer simulation and analytical mathematics
- Applications of population genetics to preservation and management of species (conservation genetics)
