Aug 17, 2009 · Sophomore Corbin Jones still has to fend off junior Chase Sudduth for the QB job, but he seems to be creating a bit of a buzz among the Millers. And though his older brother, Terry Jones, won’t be the exclusive running back in the Yukon offense, he’ll definitely be on the field plenty.

- Evolutionary Analysis of QTL and Genomic Data
The tools of modern biology have made dissecting the molecular genetics of adaptation possible, especially in Drosophila. Currently, I am using molecular markers and QTL mapping techniques to precisely map regions harboring adaptive alleles. Candidate genes with changes in expression are identified through microarray and other expression studies. C...
Periodically new genes must arise. We know little about the mechanisms, frequency, or patterns underlying these events. In collaboration with Dr. David Begun, I am identifying these new genes. One intriguing candidate we have already identified is a retrotransposed Alcohol Dehydrogenase (Adh) “pseudogene” in D. guanche, D. madeirensis, and D. subob...
I also work on theoretical and statistical methods related to evolutionary genetics and genomics. This research falls into three areas: (i) estimating the number of genes underlying a quantitative trait from mapping data, (ii) looking at spatial patterns of DNA sequence evolution, and (iii) developing methods for detecting genetic changes due to na...
The goal of Dr. Corbin Jones’ research is to identify, clone, and characterize the evolution of genes underlying natural adaptations in order to determine the types of genes involved, how many and what types of genetic changes occurred, and the evolutionary history of these changes.
Jun 30, 2011 · YUKON — Yukon quarterback Corben Jones is happiest when he's facing third-and-long. Whatever happened to get his offense in third-and-long probably doesn't make him happy, but Jones craves being in that situation, when the pressure to perform is at its peak.

Jones, Corbin. Professor. cdjones@email.unc.edu. 3159 Genome Sciences Building. (919) 962-4443 (office) Lab Website. Adaptations are central to the study of evolution. Thus it is surprising that we know so little about the molecular basis of adaptive evolution.
