Use of epigenetics and transcriptomic tools to unravel mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation and tolerance in bryophytes
Project Summary We are using genomic approaches to study the history and evolutionary relationships among the species of a poorly known genus of Neotropical frogs in the absence of a reference genome.

Computational tool for functionally annotating complete proteomes and transcriptomes
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a very valuable resource to understand the evolutionary history of poorly known species. However, in organisms with large genomes, as most amphibians, WGS is still excessively challenging and transcriptome sequencing …
The current cheapening of next‐generation sequencing has led to an enormous growth in the number of sequenced genomes and transcriptomes, allowing wet labs to get the sequences from their organisms of study. To make the most of these data, one of the …
