Welcome to the web home of the Stoltzfus research group at The Institute Formerly Known as CARB.

About Us

The Computational and Analytical Molecular Evolution Lab (camel) is the home of the Stoltzfus group at IBBR.  We use our minds and our computers to address issues in evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, and bioinformatics.  We are especially interested in one particular scientific challenge, which is to understand the role of mutation as an evolutionary cause, and one particular techological (in some respects) challenge, which is to improve the interoperability of software and data resources used by evolutionary researchers

The Comparative Data Analysis Ontology (CDAO), is an OWL ontology representing knowledge in the area of comparative evolutionary analysis. It focuses on phylogenetic trees, OTUs, character data, and evolutionary transitions. CDAO developers recently met to develop the ontology further.

Climbing Mount Probable: Mutation as a cause of non-randomness in evolution

Climbing Mount Probable: After what seems like years (2 years, to be exact-- but who's counting?), Climbing Mount Probable: Mutation as a cause of non-randomness in evolution is accepted for publication (in J. Heredity). Look here for a video link to appear soon.
