Ziheng H. Yang - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Ziheng H. Yang is a distinguished scientist in the field of genetics, currently affiliated with the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK. With a prolific career, Dr. Yang has made significant contributions to understanding species divergence, introgression, and phylogenomic analysis.

Research Contributions

Dr. Yang's research primarily focuses on the complexities of species divergence, cross-species gene flow, and the application of multispecies coalescent models to infer phylogenies. His work includes the development of full-likelihood genomic analysis methods, simulations to understand the impact of recombination on phylogenomic inferences, and maximum likelihood inference of phylogeny from copy number profiles. Recent studies have also delved into the functional and adaptive significance of promoter mutations, the complexity of species tree problems, and the importance of phase resolution in diploid genomes for phylogenomic analysis.
