Genomics

Continuously improved technology has made genomics a rapidly expanding field of science over the past decade, with new whole genome sequences of all kinds of organisms becoming available at close intervals. This is opening all sorts of new doors for studies in molecular and evolutionary biology, genetics, transcriptome analyses et c.

Our department hosts a growing number of projects using various genomic approaches. We have several organisms undergoing whole genome sequencing, which continually builds up an in-house toolbox for comparative studies of transcriptomes, genome organization and the evolution of genomes. 

Current Research:

---

The Heterobasidion genome The biology, evolution and mechanisms of the infection processes are studied within the genome project.	The Serpula genome From destruction of buildings to biofuel application!	The Clonostachys genome Genomics of mycoparasitism and its application in biocontrol.
Bacterial comparative genomics Genomics can help us understand how bacteria can suppress pathogens and promote plant growth.	Fungal comparative genomics Comparisons of the genome sequences of different species give insights into what genes are important for interactions between fungi and their environment.	Genome evolution We study how and why DNA sequences in a genome change over time.
