Unit: Platform ecological and evolutionary genomics
Location: Laboratory of Nematology, Wageningen University, Binnenhaven 5, Building 512, C44, Wageningen.

 Within ecogenomics we aim to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying biodiversity. This can be studied from the level of the individual up to the ecosystem. The use of model species (those species that have their genomic DNA sequenced) facilitates the identification and characterization of genes associated with ecologically or evolutionary relevant traits or behaviours. But most models are opportunistic species. (How) can we translate the results from model to non-models? If we would know the sequence of non-models could we answer the relevant questions?
