معرفی
Marc Robinson-Rechavi is a Professor at the University of Lausanne, Faculty of Biology and Medicine, Department of Ecology and Evolution. He leads the Evolutionary Bioinformatics Group, focusing on genome evolution and developmental biology (Evo-Devo) through the creation of databases like Bgee and MoultDB.
- Core projects: Bgee (gene expression database), MoultDB (arthropod molting genetics), SelectomeDB (positive selection)
- Collaborations: Paleontology, genome biology, and experimental Evo-Devo groups
Research interests include linking developmental processes to genome evolution, with emphasis on gene duplication, regulatory sequence evolution, and molecular convergence. His work has significant applications in cancer research, agriculture, and biomedical studies.
The group's publications (2020-2025) demonstrate expertise in single-cell transcriptomics, ontologies, and computational methods. Projects often involve ray-finned fishes, amphioxus, and arthropod diversity, with tools like OMAmer and Bio-SODA expanding bioinformatics capabilities.
- Arthropod molting mechanisms
- Venom gland evolution
- Sex-biased gene expression
- Positive selection in human evolution
Current students and former group members have contributed to diverse projects including:
