Roles: Genomics and Biogeography
Fabricius Domingos is an evolutionary biologist interested in the diversification and evolution of Neotropical organisms. Most of his research investigates the evolutionary, ecological, and biogeographic processes that generate biodiversity, using many animal taxa as research models. Dr. Domingos's lab (The DEvL: Diversity and Evolution Lab) uses spatial distribution data and different genomic data collection approaches, mostly through methods that reduce genomic representation (e.g., RAD and anchored sequencing), and is now transitioning to collecting whole genomes, including at the chromosome-level and transcriptomes. Dr. Domingos is also a heavy metal aficionado, and all his scientific activities are developed under the most extreme soundtrack humans could conceive.
