Our participation in Genome projects.

Since 1998, this lab has been involved in genome sequencing projects coordinated by FAPESP. Basically, we were active members of the following projects: Xylella fastidiosa, Xanthomonas , Sugar Cane ESTs (SUCEST), Schistosoma mansoni and Aedes aegypti transcriptomes. The sequencing itself was only a way to develop research activities in several aspects, including bacterial genome evolution, and the identification of new genes involved in DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance.
