    • Research Interest

    • Genome Evolution: integrating processes beyond nucleotide exchanges, e.g. insertions, deletions and segmental duplications; isochore evolution
    • Analysis of population related data: Nucleotide and copy number polymorphisms; biases in allele fixation
    • Phylogeny: Branching processes and dynamical models of speciation, distance distributions in phylogenetic trees
    • Models for nucleotide substitutions: including neighbor dependencies; CpG-effect; estimation of substitution patterns along chromosomes and back in evolutionary time; distinction between mutation and selection; biased gene conversion
