Nominator's project description
| Professor Graur is an international authority in the field of evolutionary genome dynamics. His work has delivered seminal advances that underpin our understanding of the evolutionary process as it occurs within DNA. Those advances have, in turn, significantly improved our ability to utilize DNA sequence data for reconstructing evolutionary history, vertebrate phylogeny in particular, from gene sequence data. In Germany he will turn his attention to the investigation of more ancient evolutionary processes and how the process of sequence alignment bears upon that endeavor. |
