Dr. Samuel Yeaman is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary, focusing on evolutionary biology, particularly how organisms adapt to changing environments through genetic changes. His research employs evolutionary models to analyze genomic data, examining fundamental processes of evolution that have significant implications for medicine and agriculture. Yeaman's work investigates the genetic basis of complex traits, utilizing a combination of population genetic theory and individual-based simulations to formulate and test hypotheses. Through comparative genomics, he studies natural populations and explores how evolution shapes the genomic architecture of species, including significant projects on genome rearrangements in threespine stickleback and the adaptation of lodgepole pine. Yeaman collaborates extensively with other researchers to address applied problems within medicine and agricultural sciences, prioritizing the understanding of how genetic adaptations can help species cope with environmental variability and climate change.
