Using the latest sequencing technologies and bioinformatic approaches to study genomes evolution in animals

I am an evolutionary biologist interested in genome evolution in animals, with a particular interest in nematodes. Within the Blaxter group, I am involved in a project to generate chromosomally-resolved reference genomes for all rhabditid nematode currently culture and to use those data to understand how nematode chromosomes have evolved.
