This project investigates how ecological factors influence genome evolution, particularly in insect viruses. By studying the relationship between ecological niches and genomic adaptations, it aims to uncover the genetic mechanisms that drive species diversification and adaptation to host immunity.
How ecology shapes genomes is a key question to be addressed in the postgenomic era. A leading theory states that species evolve as groups of genomes adapting to particular ecological niches.
Thus, shifts to a new ecological niche should be connected to genome divergence, and ultimately to the making of new species.
So far we know little on how ecological adaptation affects genomes, because of the difficulty of simultaneously studying evolution at both ecological and whole genome levels.
