Within the Department of Zoology at the University of British Columbia, research in genetics spans the range from molecular genetics to population genetics. Specific research programs include:
 

Jim Berger: Physiological and genetic control of the cell cycle in protists.

Hugh Brock: Polycomb group proteins and the repression of target loci in Drosophila and mice.

Tom Grigliatti: Non-histone chromosomal proteins; molecular biology of insects.

Darren Irwin:

Don Moerman: Muscle development and assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Sally Otto: The evolution of life cycles and genetic systems.

Rosie Redfield: Evolution of genetic exchange systems, especially in bacteria and early-branching protists.

Eric (Rick) Taylor: Molecular approaches to the evolutionary ecology, population genetics, and conservation of fishes.

Mark Vellend:

Michael Whitlock: Evolution in structured populations.
