+My work. -My work.

I am interested in evolution in general, which I mainly approach through phylogenetics. Up to now (I am a third year PhD student), my work has involved both development and use of phylogenetic methods. On the implementation side, I have adapted PhyML code (Guindon and Gascuel, 2003) to cope with a non-homogeneous model of evolution (Galtier and Gouy 1998). This led my supervisor Manolo Gouy and I to confirm that the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) might not have been a hyperthermophilic organism. I have also worked on other deep or problematic phylogenies, and have recently been quite fond of recombination.
