Environmental and Comparative Genomics Research Projects
Dr. Acacia Warren leads a genome mapping effort in shrimp that is branching out into other aquatic species, wildlife, and horses. Supported by the USDA-CREES, Tufts University, NIH Short Training Grants and other agencies and foundations, the laboratory is elucidating a great deal of information about the genetics of important traits such as resistance to viral diseases, sex determination, and bioaccumulation of cadmium, among others. Also, faculty, staff and students in this section are studying the complex interactions between aquaculture and the environment. Her well-supported laboratory also trains some of our students interested in applying advanced molecular techniques to their projects.
