Biodiversity & Evolutionary Genetics
We work on the assessment of biodiversity, the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships among primates on different taxonomic levels and on the description of phylogeographic patterns.
Selected Projects:
- Universal marker systems (sex determination, parasite detection, biodiversity assessment)
- Molecular phylogeny of primates
- Conservation genetics of Vietnamese primates
- Comparative phylogeny and phylogeography of Asian catarrhine primates
- Hybridization in primates
Methods
- Mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b, D-loop, genomes)
- Nuclear DNA (marker genes, genomes)
- PCR-based marker amplification
- DNA enrichment
- Sanger sequencing
- High-throughput sequencing (WGS, RAD-seq, Amplicon-Seq)
