[초청강연] [현대생물학 콜로퀴움] Phylogenomic study of fly-microorganism relationships

True flies, an excellent model for genomics, are one of the most diverse and rapidly radiated groups in insects. The fly infraorder Bibionomorpha is a great system for understanding trophic and life history evolution. In this study, we compile and characterize available information on larval, morphology, life history, and behavior for bibionomorphan families. We also reconstruct the phylogeny of Bibionomorpha using NGS-based transcriptome and anchored hybrid enrichment datasets. Some bibionomorphan flies are important vectors of fungal spores. Both synanthropic Brachycera and plant pest Bibionomorpha carry various microorganisms and facilitate their spread by mechanical transmission. Our revised phylogenetic estimate for Bibionomorpha reveals the evolutionary history of diverse lineages in this group and establishes a framework for investigating the interactions and impact of their association with fungi and plants, both living and decaying, in diverse ecological communities.

유전체 연구 모델로서 활용 되고 있는 파리목의 대진화에 대한 연구로, 제가 계통유전체학을 이용해 분류생태 연구 및 계통학에서 유전체 연구까지 확장해 가는 과정을 보여주고자 합니다.
