I am very pleased to announce a call for applications to the 2nd edition of our School on population genetics and evolution, organized jointly by Kavita Jain (JNCASR) and myself, and supported by the International Center for Theoretical Science, Bangalore. We have a fantastic lineup of teachers and two weeks packed with lectures, research talks,... Continue Reading →
We are looking for a project assistant to work on a project investigating the role of tRNA levels in bacterial adaptation to stress. The position will be for one year, and may potentially be extended for an additional year. The work will involve molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, so candidates with experience in standard procedures... Continue Reading →

In November 2013, Krushnamegh Kunte and I had organized a small symposium on evolutionary biology in honor of Alfred Russel Wallace, one of the co-discoverers of the theory of evolution by natural selection. As a follow up, we edited a special section on Evolutionary Biology for Current Science, comprised of a diversity of review articles... Continue Reading →
Congratulations to Laasya for getting the (very competitive) fellowship! The award will support her work on the potential adaptive consequences of altered initiator tRNA levels in bacteria. We're excited about the project and can't wait to see what Laasya discovers!
Our campus annual talks just finished, and many of us from the lab presented our work. It was a hectic but fun few days. Here are some pictures of lab people with their posters.
Laasya's postdoctoral work in the lab is now supported by an NCBS Career Development Fellowship. Congratulations!
We have two new papers that just came out in print. One is a review on bacterial genomic GC content evolution, and the other shows a surprising case of resource niche contraction at high density in beetles. Both are available here; check them out!
