Welcome to the Comparative Biology Group.

We aim to understand how different animal genomes evolved, how they are organised, and how this affects their function. Our main species of interest are the iconic egg-laying mammals: the platypus and the echidna. As the oldest surviving mammalian lineage, these extraordinary animals provide valuable insights into mammalian evolution and human diseases.
