The Freeling lab investigates two research areas, corresponding to its two PIs. Freeling attempts to use plant comparative genomics to test evolutionary hypotheses, and often focuses on conserved noncoding sequences. Occasionally, Freeling and Lisch collaborate where transposability meets evolution.

The Freeling lab is funded by grants from the National Science Foundation projected to be renewed through 2013.

Visit the Freeling lab website for more information.

Freeling currently teaches PMB13, Genetic Revolutions, each Spring semester. This is a nonmajors course in genetics. While light on scientific facts it is intellectually challenging.

The second PI, Damon Lisch, is a professional researcher leading projects in epigenetics of gene silencing and grass transposon biology. Visit the mu Killer web site for more information.
