This project investigates the evolutionary mechanisms behind the origin of major prokaryotic groups and their genetic diversity. It aims to understand the role of lateral gene transfer and ecological interactions in microbial evolution, focusing on the transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes.
From the primordial emergence of the earliest cells to the ongoing diversification of modern microbiota, the mechanisms that underlie the origin of major prokaryotic groups are still poorly understood.
In principle, the origin of both species and higher taxa among prokaryotes should entail similar mechanisms — ecological interactions with the environment paired with natural genetic variation involving lineage-specific gene innovations and lineage-specific gene acquisitions.
Because eukaryotes st…
