1. Rates and patterns of molecular evolution in avian genomes
Abstract : Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of a population through subsequent generations. The interplay of several evolutionary mechanisms determines the rate at which this change occurs. READ MORE

2. The roles of demography and natural selection in shaping genome-wide variation of Norway spruce
Abstract : Understanding the relative contribution of genetic drift, natural selection, and mutation to genetic variation, and quantifying adaptive evolution and the effects of natural selection in species are enduring goals of evolutionary genetics. Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most important conifer species that dominates from both an ecological and economical point of view in many boreal ecosystems. READ MORE

3. Molecular Evolution of the Vertebrate Genome
Abstract : In this thesis, I studied molecular evolution of the vertebrate genome, focusing on sex chromosomes, protein coding genes, and genome size variation. The evolutionary history of avian sex chromosomes was analyzed by comparing substitution rate among 12 gametologous gene pairs on the Z and W chromosomes. READ MORE
