AMR

Project will be building on existing tools (e.g., RSPR) to infer phylogenetic trees and perform large-scale inference of LGT. Key challenges include robust, large-scale phylogenomic inference, and synthesizing different lines of evidence to build a comprehensive picture of gene transfer in large genomic datasets. This position requires someone with a background in either bioinformatics or computer science... Using phylogentic methods to identify horizontal transfer events and identifying ecological factors behind it... Using lateral gene transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes in environmental and agri-food contexts with bioinformatics approaches.
