    Biography

    [edit]

    He held a Distinguished ProfessorshipofEvolution, Population Genetics and GenomicsatIndiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. Besides over 250[1][2] papers, especially in population genetics, he has written a two volume textbook with Bruce Walsh. Alongside this textbook he has also published two other books. He promotes neutral theories to explain genomic architecture based on the effects of population sizes in different lineages;[3] he presented this point of view in his 2007 book "The Origins of Genome Architecture".[4] In 2009, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (Evolutionary Biology). Lynch was a Biology undergraduate at St. Bonaventure University and received a B.S. in Biology in 1973. He obtained his PhD from the University of Minnesota (Ecology and Behavioral Biology) in 1977.
