The Johnston Lab is based at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Edinburgh. Our research interests centre on using genomic information to understand selection and evolution in wild and domesticated populations. We answer questions on sexual selection, immunity and recombination using genomic data collected from various vertebrate species, including house sparrows and other Passerines, sheep, red deer, livestock, Atlantic salmon, and more. We are currently funded by the Royal Society, NERC Pushing the Frontiers, and an ERC Consolidator Grant.
