This project investigates the origins of eukaryotes and mitochondria using computational analysis. It aims to identify the closest relatives of mitochondria and understand the evolutionary relationships within eukaryotes through gene transfer analysis.
The origins of eukaryotes and mitochondria are among the most fundamental questions in biology and are central to understanding eukaryotic genomic and cellular evolution.
It is now accepted that the mitochondrion was ancestrally present in all eukaryotic groups and that it derives from an alpha-proteobacterium, although the precise identity of the original endosymbiont is unknown.
In this project the candidate will use sophisticated computational analyses to investigate current hypotheses for th…
