1. Meiotic Recombination in Human and Dog : Targets, Consequences and Implications for Genome Evolution
Abstract : Understanding the mechanism of recombination has important implications for genome evolution and genomic variability. The work presented in this thesis studies the properties of recombination by investigating the effects it has on genome evolution in humans and dogs. READ MORE

2. 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

3. Nucleotide Substitution Patterns in Vertebrate Genomes
Abstract : The rates and patterns at which nucleotide substitutions occur vary significantly across the genome sequence of vertebrates. A prominent example is the difference in the rate of evolution of functional sequences versus nonfunctional (neutrally evolving) sequences, which is explained by the influence of natural selection on functional sequences.
