In this laboratory genes, gene families, and genomes are investigated from the evolutionary point of view. Moreover the genetic and molecular aspects of the evolution are analysed. Bioinformatic tools such as databases of gene and genomes, dedicated software, and molecular methods such as purification, amplification, cloning, sequencing, and gene expression analysis by real-time PCR and RNA Seq are methods commonly employed.
