Over

I explore the diversity of viruses from natural plant ecosystems in The Netherlands using metagenomics techniques. Of particular interest are the multipartite viruses, which divide their genome across separate viral particles.

  • On the evolution of genome segmentation in plant RNA viruses

    Project 2017–2022
    Genome segmentation, the division of the hereditary material into multiple physical units, is widespread across all domains of life. Although many viruses also have segmented genomes, some viruses go a step further and package each segment into a different virus particle.
