معرفی
Wilfried Haerty is a Senior Group Leader in Evolutionary Genomics at the University of East Anglia (UEA), affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Norwich Institute for Healthy Aging. He also holds an external position as Senior Group Leader at the Earlham Institute since December 2015, reflecting his significant role in genomics research.
- Institution: University of East Anglia
- School: School of Biological Sciences
- External Affiliation: Earlham Institute
- Position: Senior Group Leader
His academic background includes a Doctor of Science from Université de Paris, awarded in 2004, based on research into reproductive isolation in Drosophila melanogaster.
Dr. Haerty's research focuses on evolutionary and comparative genomics, particularly the characterization of functional non-coding sequences and long non-coding RNAs in mammalian and human genomes. He investigates evolutionary constraints and selection pressures using population-level sequence variation data. His work integrates computational and genomic approaches to understand genome evolution across species.
The recent trends in his publications highlight a strong focus on genome evolution, including hybridization in cichlid fishes, NUMT dynamics in mammals, fission yeast phylogenetics, avian developmental genomics, and evolutionary behavioral responses. These reflect interdisciplinary research spanning molecular evolution, genomics, developmental biology, and ecology.
