Edward Stallknecht Ricemeyer

I am a computational biologist living in Munich. I use bioinformatics to study evolutionary, molecular, and organismal biology. I am a consultant for the Warren Lab at the Bond Life Sciences Center at the University of Missouri and a visiting scientist in the Palaeogenomics Group in the Veterinary Faculty at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
