Frederick A Matsen IV

PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

Our interest is in developing methods to apply evolutionary thinking to molecular sequence data. In practice this typically means phylogenetics. Our recent work has been in developing phylogenetic methods for the analysis and comparison of metagenomic sequencing data, as well as for questions in HIV research.

Our skills lie in mathematical approaches to biological problems, algorithm development, and efficient algorithm implementation.
