Now that the costs of sequencing genes and genomes have dropped considerably, we have more genomic data than ever and can answer broader scientific questions about the evolution of organisms.

We're seeking proposals from researchers working on well-defined research questions related to evolution, both in broad and narrow questions, from adaptive radiations to the fine-tuned engineering of bacteria to develop unique functions. You could be sequencing the genome of a species for the first time, putting together the phylogenetic tree of a specific family, using morphological studies to track development of appendages or characteristics, or uncovering the history through fossils in the fossil record. Any project working on some aspect of evolution is welcome to join.
