Biology Seminar Series - “The genetic basis of complex traits: from understanding to engineering”

“The genetic basis of complex traits: from understanding to engineering”Hunter studies the evolution of complex traits by developing new experimental and computational methods.
His  work brings together quantitative genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology to achieve a deeper understanding of how genetic variation shapes the phenotypic diversity of life. His  main focus is on the evolution of gene expression, which is the primary fuel for natural selection. His long-term goal is to be able to introduce complex traits into new species via genome editing.
