Experimental Genomics Genome-wide consequences of natural selection Peromyscus maniculatus shows extreme variation in coat color that is thought to be driven by selection for crypsis against avian predation. In particular, mice inhabiting the Sand Hills region of Nebraska have very light pigmentation that matches the quartz sand substrate.Experimental Genomics The research focuses on development of molecular methods allowing large-scale analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins in both bulk samples and single cells.
