Research
From 1985 until 1991, Koonin worked as a research scientist in computational biology in the Institutes of
Koonin's principal research goals include the comparative analysis of sequenced genomes and automatic methods for genome-scale annotation of gene functions.[5] He also researches in the application of comparative genomics for phylogenetic analysis, reconstruction of ancestral life forms and building large-scale evolutionary scenarios, as well as mathematical modeling of genome evolution.[6][7][8] Koonin's research also investigates computational study of the major transitions in the evolution of life, such as the origin of eukaryotes,[9] the evolution of eukaryotic signaling and developmental pathways from the comparative-genomic perspective.[10]
Koonin is an advocate of the extended evolutionary synthesis.[11]
In 2011 Koonin outlined his views on evolution in the book "The Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution".[2]
Career
Koonin has worked as Adjunct Professor at the
As of 2014, Koonin serves on the advisory editorial board of
In 2016 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[16][17]
In 2016, Semantic Scholar AI program included Koonin on its list of top ten most influential biomedical researchers.[18]
Political positions
In February 2022, he signed an open letter by Russian scientists condemning the
