Emanuel M. Fonseca's research combines population genetics and genomics methods with questions in evolutionary biology, spanning studies of frogs and lizards in Brazil as well as genomic epidemiology of the fungal pathogen Coccidioides (the cause of Valley Fever) in the United States. Much of the recent work focuses on developing and testing computational methods for analyzing genome sequencing data, including approaches to correct for biases in low-cost 'low-pass' sequencing and pipelines for identifying genetic variants accurately.
