Cyanobacterial Evolution Research Lab

In our lab, we seek drivers of the species emergence in microbes focusing on cyanobacteria and algae. We explore global biogeographical patterns, population diversity, divergence, selection, adaptation, and gene flow. We apply multifaceted approach, which includes population genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and phenomics. Furthermore, we survey cyanobacteria soils around the globe, which brings new insights into taxonomy and diversity of cyanobacteria. Population level sampling is helping us to develop the application of population genomics to taxonomy of cyanobacteria.
