Here you will find information regarding the research interests of the group, recent publications, current and former lab members, and a calendar with upcoming events at Cornell related to our research interests (including the population genetics journal club run through our lab).

The Bustamante group works on developing statistical methods for inference in population and comparative genomics. We are particularly interested in approaches for testing evolutionary hypothesis regarding the importance of natural selection and demographic history in patterning genetic variation. Much of our work deals with development of population genetic theory as well as application of our tools to make inference from genome-wide data sets. We have recently become very interested in methods for association mapping in natural and domesticated populations. We work on a variety of organisms including:
