GENETICS AND GENOMICS

My research group has two main foci: anthropogenically driven evolution and life history evolution. We study both aspects by investigating the molecular ecology of aquatic invertebrates. In the last years, my colleagues and I have taken advantage of the newly developing  field of museomics. Using genomic information extracted from natural history collections, we can begin to understand how humans have altered microbiomes, populations, species and whole communities. 

• Genomic characterization and study of the properties of different genetic groups of winemaking and aging yeasts responsible for the production of sherry wines and manzanillas
• Molecular cytogenetics of marine organisms
• Study of genetic markers in marine populations for application in wildness and aquaculture
• Molecular study of the mechanisms of pathogenicity of the fungus Botrytis cinerea applications to the integrated control of fungal diseases
• Genetics and genomics
• Gene mapping and integrated gene mapping
