More than twenty grants totalling
more than two and a half million dollars have been awarded by various agencies
such as NSF and NIH since 1975. Not
currently funded by NIH or NSF.
More than forty research papers
or book chapters have been published in reviewed journals. This work focuses,
for the most part on
molecular genetics estimates of subpopulation divisions, evolution of sex, recombination,
and gene structure.
