Main Research Field: Evolutionary Cytogenetics
The long-term goal in our laboratory is the analysis of animal biodiversity, from a cytogenetic point of view, using different groups of Vertebrates as models. We aim to connect genomes to chromosomes by applying genomics and bioinformatics-based approaches to examine chromosomal evolution. The sum of this knowledge has thus contributed to a better characterization of our faunal variety, extending to other vital issues, such as its conservation.
Evolution of Sex Chromosomes
We describe and explore the functional evolution of sex chromosomes across different groups of organisms to broaden our current knowledge of how these elements arise and evolve.
Karyotype evolution
Our studies explore the role of Chromosomal reshuffling events in species´ diversification.
Adaptive Genomics
We aim to understand how organisms adapt to changing environments using advanced genomics technologies to identify genes underlying adaptation.
