Project description
The thesis aims at setting up a data analysis platform for pathway-based genotype phenotype mapping in clonal systems (microbial and cancer). By combining experimental or natural evolution with genomics, we will associate the origin of somatic mutations with changes in adaptive behavior in order to identify the genetic mechanism responsible for the adaptive behavior (e.g. resistance to antibiotic selection).
