  Research Objectives: 
  In recent years, Dr. King's has sought to understand the relationship between mutational mechanisms and evolvability, concentrating on the hypothesis that indirect natural selection has shaped simple sequence repeats (microsatellite and minisatellite DNA) into effective "evolutionary tuning knobs".  Dr. King also retains an interest in the neural mechanisms underlying behavioral evolution.
