The Bio-258 group is engaged in analyzing the gene transcription and expression in eukaryotes and their research focuses on two major lines: olive groves and transcriptional machinery in eukaryotes.
Our studies focus on ‘-omic’ approaches (genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic) with various objectives, such as:
- To acquire more in-depth knowledge of the olive tree genome.
- To increase the number of sequenced genomes in olive tree varieties throughout the Mediterranean Arc and to create the first database on multi-varietal genetic information on olive trees.
- To establish -through transcriptomic and genomic analysis- the genetic basis for olive tree tolerance to verticillium wilt.
- To identify and characterize new proteins in the transcriptional machinery that coordinate the mRNA synthesis and maturation required for synthesizing proteins and regulating gene expression.
- To embark on new studies aimed at establishing the interconnection between proteins of the transcriptional machinery-molecular signaling pathways-cell cycle, allowing us to establish a functional relationship with tumor processes and take the leap to new biomedical approaches.
