Behind the Science: Capitalizing on NGS to Investigate Adaptations to Global Change in Pikas
About the Author: Katherine Solari is a Postdoctoral researcher and the Associate Director of Genomics for the Program for Conservation Genomics at Stanford University. Her PhD research with Elizabeth Hadly focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in pikas (genus Ochotona). Her current work with the Program for Conservation Genomics focuses on developing genomic-based tools […]
Behind the Science: Genes, behavior, and chipping away at how they are linked
About the Author: Dr. Christopher Cunningham is a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Entomology at the University of Georgia. Chris is interested in the understanding the genomic mechanisms that underpin behavior. Every animal has to respond to environmental changes. This is true of their social environment as any other, which […]
