My name is Jim Baldwin-Brown.  I’m a postdoc fellow studying evolution, genomics, and population genetics in the Phadnis and Shapiro labs at the University of Utah.  My work focuses on using genomics methods to answer long-standing questions in genetics and evolutionary biology.  I’ve studied the differentiation of sites of selection in independently evolving populations both empirically and in simulations.  I have also contributed to genomics in non-model organisms, identifying more efficient ways to generate high quality genome assemblies with limited data, and am continuing that work to study experimental evolution in the pigeon louse Columbicola columbae. I also study chromosome pairing in hybrid Drosophila and trasmission distortion in humans.  If you want to contact me, check out my contact page.
