Work in the lab, and work the lab contributes to.

Building tools for the next generation of Ocean Discovery

A community effort to sequence the first radiolarian genome and establish Plagiacantha sp. as a model system.

Green algal genomes carry the remains of viral infections. We are working out what they mean for the alga.

The green alga Oophila amblystomatis grows inside the egg capsules of the spotted salamander, and in some cells, inside the embryo itself.

For lineages known only from sequence, inferring how the cell lives from what its genome encodes.

Single-cell genomics on eukaryotes with no cultured representatives.

The cell biology of radiolarians, acantharians, and phaeodarians, worked out from living cells collected around the Atlantic.

Signaling in microbial eukaryotes: what a cell detects, and what it does about it.

Genomes for a phylum of animals that lack most features animals have, and the taxonomy that came out of them.

Work led by others where the lab contributes analysis or sequencing.

Multicellular development in a close animal relative, with Omaya Dudin. Paper.
Chemical ecology of temperate reefs, with Doug Rasher and colleagues. Paper.
