Research summary
AI-generated

James B. Pease works on evolutionary biology and genomics, using phylogenetic (evolutionary tree-based) methods to study how genes, muscles, and traits change over deep time in animals and plants. Recent work spans the evolution of vertebrate muscle proteins, gene expression changes underlying specialized muscle function, and plant traits like longevity, drought response, and pollen thermotolerance. The research combines comparative genomics, gene expression analysis, and statistical methods for resolving evolutionary relationships even when gene histories conflict.
