Phillip L. Davidson studies how the genomes of marine invertebrates—especially sea urchins, sea stars, and clams—evolve and shape development. Much of the work involves assembling high-quality genome sequences and examining how changes to chromatin (the packaging of DNA) and gene-regulatory networks drive differences in development and life history between closely related species.
