21. Stolen genes, a shortcut to success : Evolution of metabolic and detoxification capacities in Diplomonads
Sammanfattning : Parasites do not represent a single evolutionary lineage meaning that they have evolved several times. The changes that parasites have undergone to adapt to such a lifestyle are not entirely understood. LÄS MER
22. Causes of Substitution Frequency Variation in Pathogenic Bacteria
Sammanfattning : Estimating substitution frequencies at sites that influence (Ka) and do not influence (Ks) the amino acid sequence is important for understanding the dynamics of molecular sequence evolution and the selective pressures that have shaped genetic variation. The aim of this work was to gain a deeper understanding of the driving forces of substitution frequency variation in human pathogens. LÄS MER
23. Evolutionary Processes and Genome Dynamics in Host-Adapted Bacteria
Sammanfattning : Many bacteria live in close association with other organisms such as plants and animals, with important implications for both health and disease. This thesis investigates bacteria that are well adapted to live inside an animal host, and describes the molecular evolutionary processes underlying host-adaptation, based on bacterial genome comparisons.

24. Genomic and transcriptomic investigation of reproductive incompatibility in Drosophila
Sammanfattning : Both nuclear and cytoplasmic elements can contribute to the emergence of reproductive incompatibilities that influence evolution and speciation. In the projects that compose this thesis, we use genomics and transcriptomics to study some of those elements in Drosophila. LÄS MER
25. Comparative Genomics of Endosymbiotic Bacteria
Sammanfattning : Genomes of intracellular bacteria are thought to be the products of reductive evolution. They have evolved from ancestral genomes of free-living bacteria through a process of massive gene loss. LÄS MER
