Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Michele Clamp"
- Michele Clamp's research primarily focuses on the evolutionary biology of birds, particularly the phylogenetic relationships and regulatory mechanisms associated with the loss of flight in paleognathous birds, utilizing large genomic datasets to provide new insights into convergent evolution and regulatory innovation.
- Her work has critically examined the reliability of de novo transcriptome assemblies, revealing that common assumptions about their accuracy are often violated, which has significant implications for evolutionary inferences drawn from these data.
- Additionally, Clamp has contributed to understanding microbial communities in deep-sea mussels and their adaptation in varying environmental conditions, highlighting the importance of host-symbiont interactions in extreme habitats.
