Todd J Vision

PeerJ Editor, Author & Reviewer

Summary

I am Associate Professor of Biology, and Adjunct Professor of Information and Library Science, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Much of my work has been on evolutionary genetics in plants, including ancient genome duplications, phylogenetic analysis of gene family diversification, and structural genomic variation in natural populations. I also have interests in computational biology, particularly the applications of ontologies for reasoning over large scale about phenotypic diversity data, and have been engaged in a number of projects to study and improve the infrastructure for scholarly communication, particularly open research data.

Associate Professor

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Department of Biology
The Vision lab studies genome evolution and the architecture of complex traits, with a (non-exclusive) focus on the flowering plants. Among the questions we ask are: 1) What is the genetic basis for ecologically important differences between species, and what evolutionary forces generate that variation? 2) What mutational and evolutionary processes are responsible for the structural rearrangement of chromosomes among taxa? 3) What effect do genome structural changes have on organismal phenotypes? To address these questions, we use the tools of both molecular and computational biology, and are actively involved in the development of new computational methods.
