Background:

Dinoflagellates play central roles in the marine ecosystem as primary producers of energy and symbionts with coral reef ecosystems. Dinoflagellate genomes can be exceptionally large and evolutionary adaptations to manage these large genomes have resulted in unique packaging and chromosome organization strategies. We are interested in understanding the physical and cell biological mechanisms through which dinoflagellates organize their genomes. We are also interested in studying how genome structure changes during symbiosis, free living, and in response to climate change induced stress.
