I have been exploring the compositional genome evolution in vertebrates as well as invertebrates trying to disentangle mechanisms that were driving the AT/GC genome heterogeneity in mammals and birds and surprisingly also in some ancient fishes. The AT/GC genome homogeneity particularly in fishes, other lower vertebrates and invertebrates has far reaching implications for studying their genomes. To do so, we have been developing specialized bioinformatics tools in the scripting languages Python and R. I have been using bioinformatics also in analyses of transcriptomes in fish and invertebrates.
