Spend a minute with IGB Fellow Jim Davis in this IGB video series.
Jim earned his Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the direction of Gary Olsen. His dissertation was focused on using codon usage to study horizontal gene transfer. He became an IGB Fellow in August of 2010 and is working closely with Carl Woese and members of the Biocomplexity Research Theme in order to elucidate the patterns that characterize early evolution.
