Projects & Goals

  • Borrelia population genomics: Recombination & Natural Selection (Published)
  • Borrelia pan-genomics (In submission)
  • Positive and negative selection in Borrelia ORFs and IGS (In submission)
  • Borrelia Genome Database & Browser (Summer 2013)
  • Pseudomonas population genomics (Summer 2013)
  • Frequency distribution of ospC types in wild tick populations (Fall 2013)

Lab meeting: May 16, 2013

  • Weigang: IGS paper submitted yet?
  • Che: Thesis update. Chapter 3. Evolution of ospA/ospB gene family
  • Pedro/Zhenmao: Can we wrap up the BLAST identification of ospC types?
  • Girish: Fetch cp26 sequences from DB; Run MUGSY & FastTree
  • Saymon/Deidre: Identification of consensus start-codon positions
  • Pedro/Girish: orth_get/orth_igs website development. Catalyst. Implement graphics (genome map & phylogeny) query interface
  • Raymond: start the Pseudomonas summer project
