Happy to share that a chapter of my PhD thesis is now officially published in Genetics! 🎉 Our study sheds new light on the genomic composition and epigenetic features of the Drosophila melanogaster B chromosome. I’m grateful to all collaborators and mentors who were part of this journey!

Happy to share another 2026 publication! In this work, we explore genome organization by integrating genomic and cytogenetic approaches, shedding light on the role of repetitive DNA in shaping chromosomal structure and evolution. Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #GenomeEvoluion

Excited to share our review on evolutionary genomics of meiotic drive! We discuss how these genetic elements “cheat” Mendelian inheritance, their underlying molecular mechanisms, and their broader impacts on genome evolution, including effects on genetic diversity, recombination, and sex chromosome.
