Regular biography
Shin Seunggwan is an Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University. His research focuses on phylogenomics, evolutionary biology, systematics, symbiosis, environmental and climate change, and biodiversity. His laboratory utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data from various insect taxa to study evolutionary relationships and systematic patterns. Shin's work spans from taxonomy to phylogenomics, integrating genomics and bioinformatics. He has published research in journals such as Molecules and Cells, Genome Biology and Evolution, Scientific Reports, Communications Biology, and the Journal of Integrated Pest Management.
Scholar-generated biography
Seunggwan Shin is a researcher at Seoul National University specializing in Evolution, Systematics, and Taxonomy, with a focus on Diptera and Coleoptera. Their work explores the evolutionary pathways and genomic basis of beetle diversity, including the adaptation of opsin duplication in beetles and the genomic innovations in invasive species like the Asian longhorned beetle. Shin's research also investigates phylogenomic data to understand the evolution of communication, larval habitats, and dietary shifts in beetles. Additionally, they examine the molecular phylogeny of fungus gnats and the biogeographic history of longhorned beetles, contributing to the broader understanding of insect evolution and systematics.
