Welcome to the

Institute of Population Genetics

We're dedicated to evolutionary research in population genetics since more than 10 years. We host six research groups, an interdisciplinary PhD program (Vienna Graduate School of Population Genetics) and our own computer cluster for analyses of complex high-throughput fruitfly data.
