Carnivorous Plant Genomics


Using a high-quality genome of Sarracenia, we investigate the genetic and evolutionary basis of plant carnivory and how complex traits emerge through genome evolution and ecological adaptation. To learn more , click the title.


The Acetabularia Genome (RNA Biology in Single Cells)


We study the giant unicellular alga Acetabularia acetabulum to understand RNA transport, localization, and stability. This system provides a powerful model for investigating how genetic information is organized and interpreted within a single cell.


Pathogen and Viral Genomics


We develop sequencing and computational approaches to study human pathogens and viruses, enabling high-resolution detection, genome reconstruction, and analysis of transmission and evolution across populations.


Genome Trail: Environmental DNA Analysis


We study environmental DNA dynamics to understand how biological signals are preserved, lost, or retained, improving interpretation of biodiversity patterns from incomplete and biased eDNA data.
