Project: Studying the mechanistic underpinnings and applications of polyploidy through genomics, experimental evolution, modeling, and Artificial Intelligence

2021-01-01 – 2027-12-31

Abstract

Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a driving biological force, from cells to ecosystems, and from agriculture to medicine. Nevertheless, its roles and impact in biological processes and across the tree of life remain elusive. Here, we want to apply a holistic approach using both wet-lab and
computational approaches to study the mechanistic underpinnings of WGDs, as well as its applications.
