My main topics of interest are: The impact of non tree-like evolution such as horizontal gene transfers and hybridization on species biology Evolution and adaptation of animals in the absence of sexual reproduction and the underlying...

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...

Ineos Oxford Institute of Antimicrobial Research – Department of Biology – University of Oxford Our research centres on the use of genetics/genomics and phenotypic studies to address complex questions in the ecology, epidemiology and evolution of...

This fusion event is a key evolutionary marker distinguishing humans from other great apes, as humans have 46 chromosomes while chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans possess 48. The fusion occurred through an end-to-end joining of two ancestral...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - Mulan: Multiple-sequence local alignment and visualization for studying function and evolution Mulan (http://mulan.dcode.org/), a novel method and a network server for comparing multiple draft and finished-quality sequences to identify functional...

The Rogers lab studies evolution of genome structure. We explore the ways that complex mutations like duplications, deletions, rearrangements, and retrogenes can create new genetic material. We study how these new mutations are important for...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - All multicellular organisms are colonized by microbes, but a gestalt study of the composition of microbiome communities and their influence on the ecology and evolution of their macroscopic hosts has only recently become possible. One approach to...

Mimicry and other resources

In the vast and complex world of genetics, our chromosomes are like carefully arranged bookshelves — each holding critical information that defines who we are. But what happens when those books are shuffled, inverted, or swapped? The answer lies in...

github.com - GAM-NGS is a tool able to merge two or more assemblies in order to improve contiguity and correctness. It can be used on all NGS-based assembly projects and it shows its full potential with multi-library Illumina-based projects. With more than 20...
