Ian’s focus is comparative nuclear genomics of oomycetes. Ian sequenced the genomes of the parasitic Achlya hypogyna and the free-living Thraustotheca clavata during his PhD. Ian’s project was a collaborative effort with Dr. Craig Bailey, at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
Thea is expanding our understanding of Bermuda’s algal diversity, using a combination of DNA sequencing of key samples and careful morphological investigations. Her project is being conducted in collaboration with Dr. Craig Schneider, at Trinity College.
Eric interested in evolution, symbioses, and co-evolution specifically between parasites and their hosts. Currently he is sequencing the genomes of the parasitic red alga Choreocolax polysiphoniae and its host Vertebrata lanosa, which both evolved from a shared recent common ancestor, to investigate the early genomic consequences of an organism adopting a parasitic life strategy.
After working as a technician at the NYBG, Lily began a PhD at Brown University in 2012.
Lilly used adelphoparasite and host mitochondial genomes to understand genome evolution in recently-evolved parasites. Her comparative analyses addressed some of the genomic consequences of becoming a parasite.
Currently a Fullbright Fellow studying marine policy in Iceland
Megan used comparative mitochondrial genomics to examine a local red algal host/parasite pair, which are not directly related to one another. Her project shed light on genomic changes in parasites with multiple hosts.
Tom is assisting Thea with the Bermuda Seaweed project by extracting DNA, amplifying and sequencing PCR products from Bermuda red algal samples. Tom traveled to Bermuda in the summer of 2012 to collect and process samples for his project as part of an NSF supplement.
Amy tackled the green algae from the Bermuda Seaweed project during the 2012-2013 academic year by extracting DNA, amplifying and sequencing PCR products from Bermuda samples.
Liz is assisting Nic with the sequencing and assembly of the Gracilariopsis andersonii plastid genome project. Liz was a 2012 INBRE summer research fellow and is working in the lab for the 2012-2013 academic year, completing her project.
