We have broad interests in comparative and evolutionary genomics, bioinformatics, and plant evolution. Much of my current research focuses on understanding the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in eukaryotic evolution. In prokaryotes, acquisition of foreign genes from other organisms is considered as the major means to gain novel genes. However, the importance of HGT in eukaryotic evolutio...
