The McGuigan Laboratory, part of the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, focuses on the study of genetic variation and its effects on phenotypic evolution. Their research explores how processes such as mutation, selection, and drift interact to influence the genetic variance associated with traits, particularly those that have not yet been selected for. With a commitment to unraveling the complexities of heritable traits and rapid evolutionary changes, the lab aims to shed light on the mechanisms behind standing genetic variation. Their work addresses significant questions about how new genetic mutations may impact the future of phenotype evolution and the dynamics of genetics in natural populations. Generated from the website
