Rahul Raghavan, Postdoctoral associate

r.raghavan@yale.edu

I seek to better understand evolutionary processes that facilitate lifestyle shifts in bacteria. Currently I study genome and ncRNA evolution that occur when a bacterium moves from a free-living to a host-associated niche. More...

Yogeshwar Kelkar, Postdoctoral associate

yogeshwar.kelkar@yale.edu

I am generally interested in evolution of genome structure and organismic complexity among eukaryotes and bacteria. My work at Yale variously explores the roles played by population genetic forces in influencing the size and architecture of fungal genomes, and in the emergence of interactome complexity in bacterial genomes.
