|breseq| was initially developed at Michigan State University while Jeff was a postdoc with Dr. Richard Lenski and Dr. Charles Ofria, and while Dave was a graduate student in the lab of Dr. Philip McKinley.

It is now developed in the Barrick lab in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin. `Lab Website <http://barricklab.org>`_
