The overarching objective of the Plant Cytogenomics group is to document, analyze and compare genome structure across the plant kingdom at different levels of complexity:
The primary focus of the research group is comparative cytogenomics in species and plant groups with contrasting genome features and well-documented phylogenetic frameworks. The prime focus of our research is comparative and evolutionary genomics of the mustard family (crucifers, Brassicaceae). Several collaborative projects explore principles of chromosome evolution in other angiosperm groups
Our research concentrates on understanding (1) the role of chromosome rearrangements in reproductive isolation and speciation, (2) the impact of whole-genome duplication events on genome structure and cladogenesis, and (3) the evolutionary dynamics and chromosome organization of repetitive elements.

The current infrastructure includes equipment for molecular cytogenetics and phylogenetics, such as high-end fluorescence microscopes, PCR cyclers, electrophoreses, gel documentation system, and other standard laboratory equipment for molecular biology. Experimental materials are accommodated in spacious greenhouses and walk-in growth chambers.
Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Martin Lysák, Ph.D.
The order Brassicales contains ca. 4,700 species in 17 families including several model families for evolutionary biology. The aim of the project is to reconstruct key evolutionary events which shaped the extant genome of this angiosperm clade. PhD student will use combination of phylogenomic tools to characterize selected Brassicales genomes and reconstruct past evolutionary events. Although experience of bioinformatics would be a distinct advantage, applications are welcome from enthusiastic and committed students.
Keywords: Brassicales, evolutionary biology, phylogenomic tools

Repeats are prominent componenents of plant genomes. The work will be centred on analysis of diversity and evolution of repetitive elements in crucifer genomes using next-generation sequencing platforms. The evolution of sequenced repeatomes will be analyzed within existin and newly built phylogenetic frameworks.
Keywords: crucifer genomes, next-generation sequencing, phylogenetic, repeatome evolution
