Research

Prof. H. A. Ranganath's work includes genetics, evolution, human evolution and the use of Drosophila for understanding and teaching genetics.

His work on human evolution includes an overview of the insights that paleogenomics can provide into human evolution.

His work also examines the relationship between genotype and phenotype through the use of genomics and other 'omics' approaches.

Human Evolution

His 2024 article, Insights into Human Evolution through Paleogenomics, discusses the insights that paleogenomics provides into human evolution.

Genotype to Phenotype

His work includes an overview of how 'omics' approaches contribute to understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

Drosophila & Genetics Education

Prof. Ranganath has contributed to teaching and learning genetics through experiments with Drosophila, including experiments using Curly and Bristle mutant stocks.

This work is also reflected in his co-editorship of Experiments with Drosophila for Biology Courses, published by the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bengaluru.
