The common focus of our research is Evolutionary Biology, which aims to provide answers to the complex historical process that accounts for the current earth biodiversity. We approach the study of evolution from a genetic and genomic perspective, although natural selection operates primarily on the phenotype and the genotype-phenotype relationship (development) is crucial to understand adaptation. Therefore, our group uses an integrative approach to understand the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity and evolution, from the analysis of genome variation and the forces acting on it to how this translates in changes during development and phenotypic
traits. In particular, we use mainly Drosophila, humans and bacteria as model systems, and combine methods of genomics, genetics, bioinformatics, computer simulation and evolutionary biology. Also, we contribute to knowledge transfer to society by studying different factors involved in disease susceptibility in humans and other organisms.
