Research in this area covers a broad range of topics in which molecular methods are used, including; speciation genetics, adaptation, evolutionary and developmental biology, microbiology, biodiversity monitoring and ecology. We use a wide variety of cutting edge techniques such as eDNA, prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome sequencing and assembly (using both long and short read approaches), and genetic manipulation of plant and animal models. Researchers have access to recently-refurbished laboratory and research spaces, including eDNA clean rooms; a confocal microscopy suite; controlled-temperature rooms; glasshouses; marine and freshwater aquaria; small mammal housing; and venomous and non-venomous reptile rooms.
