About Raman Akinyanju Lawal, Ph.D.

Genetic diversity is key for survival especially in the phase of continuous environmental changes. My current research leverages whole-genome sequences from wild-caught mouse species representing the repertoire of diversity, to discover patterns of variations that give rise to genetic diversity. By focusing on introgression, positive selection and balancing selection, my goal is to detect the footprint of these genomic signatures and their evolutionary roles in mammalian genome.
