This project investigates the origins and evolution of eukaryotic genomes and organelles, focusing on the role of lateral gene transfer in parasitic protozoa. It aims to enhance understanding of how these organisms exploit host cells and the essential functions of organelles.
Understanding the origin and evolution of eukaryotes, their genomes and organelles, are among the most important and exciting challenges facing biology.
However, determining ancient gene origins tests methods and data to their limits, and it is unrealistic to expect progress to be easy. A comparative cross-disciplinary approach involving sophisticated phylogenetics allied with mathematical understanding, offers the best hope of obtaining robust hypotheses for gene and genomic origins.
