Population genomics and sequencing methodologies in host-pathogen systems

Potential subprojects include: Extending methods for pangenome annotation and analysis to eukaryotic pathogens (e.g. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.24.524926v1).

Developing adaptive sampling and hybrid enrichment techniques for pathogen/bacteria/host sequencing (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01580-z.)  

Linking strain/variant transmission with pathogen
genetic determinants and host epidemiology. (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8552050/ and https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/scitranslmed.abg4262)
