Research in the King Lab addresses fundamental questions in evolutionary genomics, seeking to understand how genomes change when phenotypes evolve. We integrate computational methods with large-scale empirical studies, with a primary focus on understanding the evolution of complex traits.
Experimental evolution of resource allocation strategies, Genetics of lifespan
Genetics of lipid, carbohydrate, and protein storage, Patterns of phenotypic plasticity in response to diet
Genetic basis of learning, memory, and thermal tolerance, Techniques for functional validation of QTL
See my Google Scholar page for an up-to-date list of the lab's publications.
