Genetical Genomics

In order to better understand complex phenotypes, Dr. McIntyre is developing a systems approach to the statistical analysis of genomic, proteomic, and other “omic” data. Her research focuses on the methods for understanding and answering system level questions such as:

How does the whole organism work?

What produces the phenotype?

What regulates the system?

The program is highly collaborative and works with experts in Drosophila, Staphylococcus aureus, arabidopsis, maize and trees to answer fundamental questions about how genetic variation influences variation in phenotype. She is also interested in different population structures and the connection between information obtained from experimental populations and variation in natural populations.
