We are currently working on the evolutionary relationships of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians using chromosomal signatures based on syntenic associations defined by cross-species chromosome painting and gene mapping. Related studies are discovering new mechanisms of genetic sex determination in reptiles and amphibians.
