Javier Tabima

Professor Javier Tabima’s research integrates tools and concepts from evolutionary theory, computational biology, genomics, genetics, and plant pathology/mycology. His work focuses on the study of fungal evolution and the development of computational and molecular tools for rapid species identification, population genetics, and the detection of genes of interest. One notable paper connecting to data science is Poppr: an R package for genetic analysis of populations with clonal, partially clonal, and/or sexual reproduction.
