Targeted Capture Seq of Sulfide Adapted Populations of Poecilia mexicana


For the first chapter of my Ph.D., I used targeted capture sequencing of regions associated with hydrogen sulfide response and toxicity to understand if populations that have independently adapted to sulfide springs did so via the same or different genes.




Gene Co-Expression Networks


This systems-level project analyzed expression from seven fish species to determine if there were differences in expression between ancestors of extremophiles and ancestors of non-extremophiles after exposure to hydrogen sulfide.




Genomic Basis of Eye Loss in Subterranean Amphipods


This analysis was for my Master's thesis project. Using pooled RNA-seq, we compared gene expression between two closely related species of amphipods, one of which is eye- and pigment-less. A majority of this project used shell (bash) scripting and R.
