1. BEN-solo proteins in genome architecture and function
Abstract : Eukaryotic genomes are organized in a complex manner inside the nucleus of each cell. Chromatin insulators are DNA elements that help to fold the linear DNA fiber in three-dimensional space and partition regulatory gene units. READ MORE

2. Evolution of symbiotic lineages and the origin of new traits
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the genomic study of symbionts of two different groups of hymenopterans: bees and ants. Both groups of insects have major ecological impact, and investigating their microbiomes increases our understanding of their health, diversity and evolution. READ MORE

3. Novel FISH methods to unveil genome architecture
Abstract : The genome consists of incredibly long DNA strands that encode all the vital information for the cell to function. The DNA inclusion in the very tight nuclear space and, simultaneously, the establishment of a hierarchical organization of the chromatin that favors transcription of certain genes over others, sparked a long-lasting quest to understand the design principles that govern genome architecture.

4. Catching the Spore killers : Genomic conflict and genome evolution in Neurospora
Abstract : A genome is shaped by many different forces. Recombination can for instance both create and maintain genetic diversity, but the need to locally reduce recombination rates will also leave specific signatures. READ MORE

5. Exploring genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations through next generation sequencing
Abstract : Studying genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations is of major importance in evolutionary biology. The recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has dramatically changed the scope of these studies, enabling researchers to study genetic diversity in a whole-genome context.
