Michael M. Miyamoto

Michael Miyamoto has a Ph.D. in the Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Ecology and Evolution. Currently, he is Associate Chair and Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Florida, where he also serves on the Executive Committee for the UF Genetics Institute.

Dr. Miyamoto's research is in the areas of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenetics, population genetics, and bioinformatics. His work combines both empirical and theoretical approaches to the comparative analysis of macromolecular sequences and other genetic/genomic data.

He has published over 70 articles in these fields, including recent publications on the application of hidden Markov models in sequence alignment and coalescence theory in population genetics analyses. He continues to teach in the international summer Workshop on Molecular Evolution at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

 

Ian Holmes

Ian Holmes has a PhD in genetics and a MA in theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge. Currently, he is an assistant professor at the Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley, and also holds a faculty position with the Physical Biosciences Division of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.

Ian Holmes's research interests revolve mostly around the evolution and ecology of genomes, and the development of tools (bioinformatics, mathematical and experimental) for studying these. His group has developed bioinformatics approaches for classifying transposon sequences, identifying noncoding RNA genes, measuring substitution rates and reconstructing ancient genomes.

Ian Holmes has a particular interest in the "RNA world" hypothesis, and has developed many mathematical models and software tools for predicting RNA structure, aligning RNA sequences and modeling the evolution of RNA.
