Genome and Ecological Biology
An organism’s genome is the language of life. Woven into a double helix which sits snugly in every cell, it comprises all of life’s genetic material, a code that determines appearance, behaviour, and how an organism survives in its surroundings.
At TLL, we examine how the genome guides ecological interactions with various elements of the living environment. From sea bass with faster growth and higher meat quality, to plants with greater capacity for photosynthesis, and digestive system microbes that eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Our research is opening up exciting new innovations with impact across food security, environmental sustainability, and community well-being.
