Research program
Project 1: RNA biology
This project aim to investigate biological aspects of RNA molecules derived from, or associated with, nuclear group I introns. Different experimental approaches are used to study RNA structure, reaction, evolution and biological roles. Currently (June 2005), five case study projects are running:
- Case study 1: GIR1 capping ribozyme.
- Case study 2: Group I ribozyme reactions.
- Case study 3: RNA application
- Case study 4: Intron mobility and homing endonucleases.
- Case study 5: Phylogeny and evolution of group I introns.
Project 2: Mitogenomics
This project aim to investigate the molecular taxonomy, ecology, and evolution of marine animal species based on complete mitochondrial DNA sequences and other informative molecular markers. Currently (June 2005), three case study projects are running:
- Case study 1: Phylogeny and evolution of codfishes.
- Case study 2: Phylogeny and evolution of flatfishes.
- Case study 3: Mitochondrial RNAs
