Ladoukakis Emmanuel

Ladoukakis Emmanuel is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biology, University of Crete. His research focuses on Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Evolutionary Biology, with a particular emphasis on non-coding DNA sequences, mitochondrial recombination, and mutagenesis mechanisms.

Research Interests:

• Functional analysis of small open reading frames (ORFs) in Drosophila
• Homologous recombination in highly diverged mitochondrial genomes
• Sequence-directed mutagenesis in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
• Computational analysis of genetic variation and evolutionary patterns

Recent Publications explore topics such as cryptic human mutation rate variation, inverted repeats in prokaryotes, and evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial DNA. His work bridges experimental and computational approaches to understand genome stability and functional genomics.
