Genetic diversity and population dynamics of the pine processionary moth:

I establish and optimise the protocols (primarily those for preparing high-throughput sequencing libraries) required to address the scientific questions raised by the projects in which I am involved. Once the method has been validated, I generate the data, carry out initial analyses and format the results before delivering them to the relevant project leads. I am also responsible for the management and traceability of samples (tissues, DNA, RNA) using a database.

Keywords: extraction, DNA, RNA, high-throughput sequencing, microsatellites, Sanger
