Inside the Tangled Bank of Arthropods

 

We unravel the molecular-genetic mechanisms of hybrid dysfunction, herbivory, and pesticide resistance. One of the major research lines dissects the mechanistic underpinnings of symbiont-host interactions. We use interdisciplinary approaches to study the molecular architecture of these complex traits.

 

 

 

MinION and ESEB19

Details

Last week, I received my first MinION, and can't wait to start sequencing Bryobia genomes and exploring the data! Also, I am happy to announce that Ernesto Villacis-Perez and myself are hosting a symposium that focuses on plant-arthropod interactions for the upcoming ESEB19 conference. Invited speakers are Noah K. Whiteman and Silke Allmann. Our symposium is entitled: 'S22. Evolution of host-plant use in arthropods". For more information, please go to https://eseb2019.fi.

Hope to see you there!
