Welcome to the Larracuente Lab!<\/h1>\n

We study the evolution of selfish DNA using genomic, population genetic, molecular and cytological methods. The lab is located at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. We are part of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology<\/a> program.<\/p>\n

Our research is funded by the NIH and NSF.\u00a0Click on a picture to learn more about our research or visit the Research<\/a> page for an overview.<\/p>\n
