Research

We are a dry lab, using a variety of approaches from population genetics in order to study fundamental evolutionary processes. This line of research involves developing theory, as well as likelihood- and approximate Bayesian- based statistical approaches, for quantifying and untangling the evolutionary pressures driving populations.

The Jensen Lab is in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, and we are part of a large and collaborative group in evolutionary genomics at ASU – see ASUpopgen.org. We are also members of the Center for Evolution & Medicine, and the Center for Mechanisms of Evolution.
