Advancing Genomics Assisted Breeding in Apple and Cannabis
(2023-08-14)Apple and cannabis are two economically and culturally important crops grown around the world for a diversity of end uses. Both apple and cannabis stand to benefit immensely from genomics assisted breeding. Discovering the ... -
EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS OF A PLASTIC LIFE HISTORY TRAIT: GALAXIAS MACULATUS AMPHIDROMOUS AND RESIDENT POPULATIONS
(2021-08-20)Understanding the molecular mechanisms that differentiate diadromous from freshwater resident (non-migratory) populations can help understand how species adapt to changing conditions. In this thesis, I first review the ... -
INFERRING ORTHOLOGOUS RELATIONSHIPS AND GENE TRANSFER IN MICROBIAL GENOMES AND METAGENOMES
(2019-11-28)Interest in microbial life and the progress of DNA sequencing technology has led to thousands of sequenced bacterial genomes. In this thesis I develop approaches to identify Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT) in metagenomes, ... -
INVESTIGATING A NOVEL CLADE OF ANAEROBIC MICROBIAL EUKARYOTES
(2024-05-23)Metamonads are a diverse group of heterotrophic microbial eukaryotes adapted to living in hypoxic environments. All metamonads but one harbour metabolically altered ‘mitochondrion-related organelles’ (MROs) with reduced ... -
Patterns of genomic and phenomic diversity in apple and grape
(2017-07-28)Apples and grapes are two long-lived perennial crops which are economically valuable but whose genomic and phenomic diversity has not yet been fully described and exploited. In this thesis, there were two main objectives: ...
