Research summary

Michael Broe studies evolutionary biology using genetic and genomic methods, working across very different organisms including snakes (especially rattlesnakes and pit vipers) and non-photosynthetic plants in the heath family (Ericaceae). His work spans topics like venom gene evolution, chemosensory receptor genes, population genetics of threatened species, plant plastid genome reduction, and how species boundaries and evolutionary relationships are defined and classified.
