Research summary
AI-generated

Amanda L. Pendleton's work centers on genome sequencing and comparative genomics across a wide range of organisms, including dogs, macaques, algae, sea slugs, and plants. A recurring focus is identifying structural genetic features—such as endogenous retroviruses (ancient virus-derived DNA embedded in host genomes), copy number variation, and mobile genetic elements—and using reference genome assemblies to understand evolutionary history and biological traits. This research combines bioinformatics and molecular biology methods to build genomic resources and study genome evolution rather than direct disease treatment.
