Understanding genome evolution in Miscanthus hybrids for sustainable bioenergy (DE-VEGA_E26DTP)

This project aims to determine how hybridisation and polyploidisation independently and jointly shape transcriptional evolution in Miscanthus hybrids, and to investigate how regulatory, epigenetic, and structural mechanisms contribute to the balance or dominance among subgenomes.

Engineering stable designer chromosomes (NIEDUSZYNSKI_E26DTP3)

Recent technological advances allow us to design and construct entire chromosomes, allowing unprecedented potential for the creation of cellular machines.
