1. Genomics of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Expanding knowledge, one assembly at a time
Abstract : Most life forms that inhabit Earth today are still unknown or are difficult to study. Accessing their DNA can give us information of their biology, ecology, and evolution, even when unculturable. The research here presented focused on method development for genomic research of non-model organisms. READ MORE

2. Investigation of Mechanics of Mutation and Selection by Comparative Sequencing
Abstract : The process of evolution is of both scientific and medical interest. This thesis presents several studies using complete genomic reference sequences, comparative genomic data, and intraspecific diversity data to study the two key processes of evolution: mutation and selection. READ MORE

3. Exploring the diversity and evolution of giant viruses in deep sea sediments using genome-resolved metagenomics
Abstract : Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on this planet, which is impressive considering that they are completely dependent on their hosts for reproduction. Recently the idea of what viruses are has changed dramatically, with the discovery of giant viruses that belong to the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV), such as Mimiviridae, Marseilleviridae, and the proposed families Pandoraviruses, and Pithoviruses.

4. Chromosomal β-lactamases in enterobacteria and in vivo evolution of β-lactam resistance
Abstract : The ß-lactam antibiotics are the most important antibacterial agents in the treatment of infectious diseases. A severe problem in ß-lactam therapy is the emergence of ß-lactam resistant bacteria. Clinical ß-lactam resistance is most often due to the production of ß-lactamases. ß-lactamase genes reside either on plasmids or on the chromosome. READ MORE

5. Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi
Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. READ MORE
