Manyuan Long

Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

Manyuan Long studies young genes, the origin and evolution of gene structure, and the rate of new gene evolution. He taps into sophisticated computer software to study and compare thousands of genes at a time. He believes that new genes arise through the shuffling and mixing of existing genes or gene fragments.
