The Genomic Opportunities Lab (GenOps) at Brown University, led by Dr. Tyler Kartzinel, is advancing the frontiers of molecular ecology, conservation biology, and genome-enabled science. Our interdisciplinary team combines genomics, fieldwork, ecological theory, and data science to understand biodiversity, species interactions, and environmental change. We are especially well-known for our work with dietary DNA metabarcoding and conservation genetics. We partner with conservation organizations to develop solutions for real-world environmental challenges around the world.
