New Graduate School for Research on Genome Evolution Approved

EvoRest_NEW3

The goal of the new graduate school is to investigate the evolutionary development of genomes in asexually and sexually reproducing organisms. By studying animals, plants, and fungi, we will shed light on the evolution of nuclear genomes (Focus A), the interaction of nuclear genomes with organelle genomes, and horizontal gene transfer mediated by viruses (Focus B). Another goal is to develop methods and models for further genomic analyses (Focus C).
