Scientific interests

Structural variants in Eukarya genomes – circular, extrachromosomal DNA (eccDNA), unconvetional genetic regulation mechanisms (unconventional splicing, unconventional poliadenylation)

Research projects

Characteristics of circular, extrachromosomal DNA in euglenids (Preludium)

Previous research projects

  • Species richness and occurrence dynamics assessment of autotrophic euglenids (Euglenida) in environmental samples collected from a chosen hyper-eutrophic habitat, based on analysis of the V2 18S rDNA region (DSM)
