G. King
Associate Professor
Ph.D., University of California at San Diego, 1975
Histology; neurobiology, evolutionary genetics
Office: Life Science III 2084

Research Interests:
Recent publications have addressed 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
neurobiology, especially the patterns of neural and genetic organization
which underlie behavioral evolution.
