I joined this group in September to write my bachelor thesis here. My project focusses on the comparative genomic analysis of retrogenes in the recently sequenced multicellular Volvocine alga "Volvox carteri" and its closest unicellular ancestor "Chlamydomonas reinhardtii". Both genomes share a lot of similariy - but differ strongly in their complexity and organization. We will hopefully see - which roll retrogenes play in here.
