By studying the genomes of yeast we develop methods that can be used to analyse more complicated genomes and address questions about microbial domestication, pathogenicity and ultimately to predict how yeast biodiversity could be affected by climate change.” Selected Publications Selected Publications: Google Scholar Profile Education Education: Ph.D University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK 1999 Other Information Other Affiliations: Bioinformatics; Integrated Life Sciences
