Hao Laboratory

Our primary research interest is to understand the pattern of genomic changes and mutational processes, and their corresponding functional consequences. To accomplish this research, we conduct comparative genomic studies using next-generation sequencing, experimental and bioinformatics approaches. Our work has been carried out on a range of organisms including yeast, bacteria, and plants. Our interests include, but not limited to:

1) Mutation mechanisms
2) Gene evolution
3) Evolution of genome structure
