The reserach projects of the Wayne lab cover a wide range of species and utilize a multitude of molecular approaches. From exploring contemporary population dynamics to evolutionary relationships, current projects utilize both traditional and next-generation technologies to address ecological and evolutionary questions at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Many of the projects explore genomes for signatures of selection (natural or artificial), local adaptaion, patterns of partitioning genetic variation across species and populations, or use a metagenomic approach to understand complex biological systems.

The Wayne lab is soon to be relocated from the Life Science Building in south campus of UCLA to the Life Science Replacement Builing on the corner of Manning Dr. and Charles E. Young Dr. South. Please see the UCLA campus map for more details.
