Research summary

The lab works describing and explaining DNA features of many genomes, most from arthropods. Of particular interest are transposable element, that make a up a significant percentage of most eukaryotic genomes (nearly 50% in humans). We run various software programs, some designed by us in the lab, to identify such sequences in the genome and try to explain the influence of these sequences on the host genome.
