I am interested in genome organization and the various mechanisms of chromosomal rearrangements that result in genetic variation. My research group is currently pursuing several projects related to th e field of human genetics and DNA recombination. Most importantly, in collaboration with other investigators, I am interested in the mapping and genetics of human chromosome 22. Previous research involved the characterization and utility of transposable elements of maize (corn).
