Method
We study how mutational and recombinational mechanisms affect the process of evolution at the fundamental level while employing a wide range of techniques, from mathematical models to cutting-edge experimental methods. By revisiting the fundamentals of evolution, our research has potential implications in diverse fields, from evolutionary biology to molecular medicine and computation.

The mixability theory for the role of sexual recombination in evolution
For nearly a century, theoretical research on the role of sexual recombination in biological evolution has been guided by a tacit assumption that sex should somehow facilitate the increase in the population mean fitness measure as defined in population genetic models, even though this measure does not explicitly represent biological structure. The mixability theory for the role of sexual recombination in evolution argues instead that, by shuffling the genes, sexual recombination shifts the “focus” of natural selection from favoring particular genetic combinations of high fitness to favoring genes that perform well across many different genetic combinations. Thus, the interaction between sex and natural selection generates modular genetic elements that are simple and robust and are able to form novel genetic interactions.
Download PDFLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.
looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
