Luo Lab | Symbiosis Genomics & Evolution
Evolution and development of body plans, cell types, and genomes
Symbiosis Genomics & Evolution Lab
Introduction
At the Biodiversity Research Center, our lab promotes diversity in science by fostering curiosity-driven basic research in evolutionary biology. We focus primarily on the evolution, developmental biology, and genomics of marine invertebrates. Using next-generation sequencing, single-cell genomics, and imaging, we study various marine species as model systems to explore the biodiversity and evolutionary origins of development and symbiosis.
Research Directions
Evolutionary genomics
Evolutionary developmental biology
Genomic basis of symbiosis
Research Topics
Regeneration and symbiosis of stony corals at genomic and single-cell level
Evolution of cell types and symbiosis establishment in symbiotic acoels at single-cell level
Genome evolution and genetic regulation of brachiopods and other spiralians
研究介紹
我們特別感興趣的研究主題為海洋無脊椎動物與微生物共生關係的基因調控與演化。利用次世代定序、單細胞基因體、與顯微影像技術,我們建立珊瑚與無腔蟲作為共生的模式物種並與其他共生生物 (如海葵、水螅、海蛞蝓、硨磲貝等) 做演化發育生物學的比較研究,藉此探索共生生物多樣性與演化起源。
研究領域
演化基因體學
演化發育生物學
共生基因體學
研究主題
基因體與單細胞層次石珊瑚的再生與共生
單細胞層次無腔蟲細胞類型演化與共生建立
腕足動物與螺旋動物基因體和轉錄體調控與演化
Our lab is a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). We are committed to changing what we value in research. | Link
