Professor Adams’ laboratory studies a range of problems in the population genetics and evolution of microorganisms. Current projects concern (1) the analysis of the role of transposable elements and gross chromosomal rearrangements in the generation of adaptive genetic change in populations of S. cerevisiae, (2) the analysis of the evolutionary dynamics and physiological basis of polymorphisms arising in evolving populations of E. coli and S. cerevisiae, and (3) molecular and biochemical characterization of the process of adaptation in microbial populations. Dr. Adams also has interests in human population genetics, he is currently working with the genetic and demographic structure of human isolates.
