						<p>
							Our research focuses on the early evolutionary events in the diversification of life some
							1-3.5 billion years ago on Earth. For decades we have known that eukaryotes — organisms
							that package their DNA inside a cell nucleus (e.g. animals, plants, fungi and single-celled
							protists) — are vastly different in cell structure from nucleus-lacking prokaryotic cells
							(e.g. Eubacteria or Archaebacteria). Although it is likely that eukaryotes evolved from
							prokaryotes 1 to 2 billion years ago, the events that occurred in their subsequent
							diversification into major "kingdoms" remain contentious. The research in our laboratory
							aims at discerning these events and fitting them onto a robust tree of kingdom-level
							relationships (click here to see a hypothetical tree we dreamed up).
						</p>
						<p>
							To do this, we are using a several tiered approach. Our first goal is to sample multiple
							genes from a wide array of diverse single-celled eukaryotes to build molecular phylogenies.
							Second, after we have developed molecular biological tools for these organisms, we are
							initiating larger-scale studies of their genome structure and evolution.
