The Gaut Lab
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
Welcome to the home of the Gaut Lab at U.C. Irvine!
The Gaut Lab is housed in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Irvine. The lab is focused on the evolutionary genetics and comparative genomics of plant systems, but lab members are also devising bioinformatic methods and studying evolutionary questions in taxa as diverse as bacteria and viruses.
The Department has a strong international presence, with five members of the National Academy of the Sciences and an additional seven AAAS Fellows. In addition to Evolutionary Genetics, other major foci in the department include Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology and Global Change Biology.
If you have any questions about the lab or think you might be interested in applying for a Ph.D. in the department, feel free to contact Brandon Gaut.
