Huttley Group - Bioinformatics, molecular evolution of genomes

The Huttley Group focusses on understanding what processes shape the distribution of genetic variation. We have a particular interest in understanding the influence of factors affecting mutation and how best to represent these effects in statistical models. The driving biological questions lie in the realm of population and molecular evolutionary genetics. The nature of our work is largely computational and statistical. We spend considerable effort in the development of new statistical models and implementing those in software.

Two major outputs from the Group are the cogent3 software library for molecular evolutionary analysis and the related QIIME2 software suite for interrogation of microbial ecology.
