Darin R. Rokyta
Darin received his B.S. in zoology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999 and his Ph.D. in bioinformatics and computational biology from the
University of Idaho in 2006. His interests include the genetics of adaptation, population genetics, and molecular evolution.

S. Brian Caudle
Brian received his B.S. in Biology from the University of Idaho in 2004 and started graduate school at Florida State in January 2010. Brian's interests
include the genetics of adaptation, biophysical adaptation, and the pleiotropic effects of beneficial mutations. Brian is currently investigating these interests through
viral experimental evolution to determine the interplay between capsid thermal stability and viral assembly rates. Contact Brian. |

Victoria M. Pearson
Victoria is a graduate student in the lab. She received her B.A. in Biology from the University of Maine at Farmington in 2009. She is currently studying
viral population genetics in local wastewater treatment plants by means of culture-independent high-throughput sequencing. She is investigating the structure of
genetic diversity for viruses with ssDNA genomes, particularly those in the Microviridae family. Contact Victoria. |

Andrew M. Sackman
Andrew is a graduate student in the lab. He received his B.S. in biology from Washington and Lee University in 2010. He is currently studying gene interactions and
compensatory evolution in phages. Contact Andrew. |

Mark Margres
Mark is a graduate student in the lab. He received his B.A. in biology from Bethany College in 2011. Mark is studying in snake venom evolution, particularly the interaction
between gene flow and selection and whether this results in local adaptation. Contact Mark. |

Anneliese Morrison
Anneliese is a junior biochemistry major and is the lab's undergraduate research assistant. She is studying mutations that confer resistance to low pH for microvirid
bacteriophages and how such mutations affect viral growth rates.
Contact Anneliese. |
