A major focus of the research in the lab is to use DNA sequences from ancient specimens and present-day individuals to characterize population relationships and date evolutionary events.
To this end, we use genetic data from ancient specimens and present-day humans and primates to learn about: (1) how different evolutionary processes such as mutation rate evolve across primates, (2) when key events (such as introgression and adaptations) occurred in human history, and (3) how we can leverage these patterns to identify genetic variants related to human adaptation and disease.

The prevalence estimates for MRSP and MRSA were calculated by number of positive specimens divided by total number of collected specimens and presented as percentages.
We have shown through DNA amplification and sequencing of the original 1893 herbarium specimens and present-day plants that the pod parent of V. Miss Joaquim is V. teres var.
In this study we have investigated OCT imaging of human glioma biopsy specimens and present a first report of a clinical pilot evaluation of intraoperative time domain OCT imaging and post-acquisition image processing as a new intraoperative imaging modality.
sGAG content was normalized to DNA content in each specimen and presented as sGAG per cell.
The relative expression of every specific miRNA for each time-point was compared to that of normoxic specimen and presented as 2−ΔC'T, (where ΔC'T = CT, Time x – CT, Control and CT is the cycle threshold)[55], [56].
We tested for the presence of S. aureus in stool specimens, and if present, determined the density of colonization.
The method, manufacturing of test specimens, and validation are presented.
