Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance, recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems, including...

We are pleased to announce a Postdoctoral Scholar position to study bacterial evolution at the Pathogen and Microbiome Institute at Northern Arizona University with Professor Paul Keim. The scholar will have the opportunity also work with...

Mitochondrial Genome of a 400,000-Year-Old Hominin from Spain Decoded

www.nature.com - Alignment of the porcine genome against seven other mammalian genomes (Supplementary Information) identified homologous synteny blocks (HSBs). Using porcine HSBs and stringent filtering criteria, 192 pig-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions...

Broad area of research: Genome Annotation and Functional Genomics Bergman Lab is actively engaged in the development and application of computational methods to improve the annotation of functional biological features in genome sequences....

The Molecular Basis of Vertebrate Evolution. Naturally occurring species show spectacular differences in morphology, physiology, behavior, disease susceptibility, and life span. Although the genomes of many organisms have now been completely...

web.mit.edu - We present methods for the automatic determination of genome correspondence. The algorithms enabled the automatic identification of orthologs for more than 90% of genes and intergenic regions across the four species despite the large number of...

They are based in the Department of Genetics at the University of Cambridge. The research covers diverse areas of evolutionary biology, and molecular evolution in particular. It combines theoretical and empirical approaches, and particularly...

Study the process of Adaptive Evolution, during which species adopt novel traits to overcome challenges. We retrace the evolutionary histories of genomic elements to determine the changes underlying adaptation and to discover previously unknown...
