Bruce Rannala

Our research group focuses on mathematical and statistical problems in genetics and evolutionary biology. Research interests include: bioinformatics, cancer genetics, human genetics, linkage analysis, mathematical population genetics, molecular evolution, statistical phylogenetic inference, and statistical genomics. The group is jointly located in the Genome Center (GBSF Building) and Evolution and Ecology Department (Storer Hall, Room 5339).
