Current projects in the laboratory include:
Development of an intermediate density genetic map in deer mice (Peromyscus), relying heavily on PCR based genetic markers. Such a map will considerably enhance the usefulness of deer mice in a variety of research areas including speciation, behavior, and habitat variation.
Development of cryopreservation techniques for Peromyscus including sperm and embryo freezing and artificial insemination.
