Surveying the genetic battlefield to uncover the rules of rapid evolution
The Malik Lab thrives on competition. But for HHMI investigator Harmit Malik and his team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, it's the genomes—not the people—that are in conflict.
AI Summary
The Malik Lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center focuses on rapid evolution, studying genetic changes that occur over a few generations. Their research examines genetic conflicts, where different genetic elements compete to maximize their success at the expense of others. By uncovering the evolutionary rules that govern these conflicts, the team aims to reveal insights that could aid the development of better disease treatments.
