    Genome Evolution: Where do new genes come from?

     Computational molecular biology and computational genomics; especially, the evolution of genomic organization and function.

 
     Bacterial Gene Acquisition May Drive Niche Expansion

Phylogenetic reconciliation reveals that a gene that contributess to infection of the conjunctiva by Streptococcus pneumoniae was acquired by horizontal transfer from the pig pathogen Streptococcus suis.
