Evolutionary Genomics

Research interests
Our group uses comparative genomics and transcriptomics approaches to understand the evolution of new genes and the expression of microproteins in cancer.
We exploit both Illumina and Nanopore long read RNA-Seq data, as well as ribosome profiling information, to learn about gene structure and the translation of non-canonical open reading frames.
