ARCHIBALD LAB

Long-read DNA sequencing for enhanced genome assembly. Over the past two years we have been using Oxford Nanopore technology to generate telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies for diverse eukaryotic microbes... Laboratory tools for the study of gene transfer. With funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we are developing genetic tools with which to study endosymbiotic and lateral gene transfer in microbial eukaryotes (mainly single-celled amoebae). This includes traditional transformation approaches as well as genome editing using CRISPR-cas9 technology.
