16. 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

17. Bio-inspired crossover and a model of neuronal reprogramming
Abstract : Bio-inspired crossover:Natural genomes are affected by various kinds of mutations, manifesting as variations in the genome. This includes modifications to individual base pairs (single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP), but also short insertions and deletions (indels), and variations in the position (translocations) or multiplicity (copy number variations) of genetic sequences.

18. Evolution of the Neuropeptide Y System in Vertebrates with Focus on Fishes
Abstract : Gene families in vertebrates often contain more dulicates (paralogs) than in invertebrates. This has been attributed to genome duplications, i.e., tetraploidizations. READ MORE

19. Evolution of acetylcholine receptors and study of the anatomy of the mouse brain reward system
Abstract : This thesis work is divided in two parts. In the first part, I make use of the transgenic TRPV1-Cre mouse line as a tool to investigate the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). READ MORE

20. MHC diversity and expression in a songbird : Temporal and transgenerational variation
Abstract : The immune system is of central importance to clear-off pathogens in order to keep an organism healthy. In vertebrates, the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a genomic region that holds key genes involved in adaptive immunity and in particular in the antigen presenting process. READ MORE
