Just had an article come out in Nature – Resolving the evolutionary relationships of molluscs with phylogenomic tools link pdf

This was a product of my postdoctoral research at Brown University with Casey Dunn and was a phylogenomic dataset construction experiment with next generation data.

I am Stephen A. Smith, an evolutionary biologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My lab site is here. This site provides information on my research, projects, and various resources. CV and Google Scholar page.

I have deep roots in biology and computer science. My primary research focuses on

Much of my research requires programming and here are links to my github profile and my google code profile.
