About Nauras Daraghmeh

Current research

My PhD studies focus on the evolution of chromosomal inversions in the seaweed fly Coelopa frigida. As large-scale chromosomal rearrangements, inversions play a substantial role in adaptation in speciation. This project will assess how...

  • the allelic content within inversions evolves along environmental gradients and across large temporal scales
  • chromatin accessibility and gene expression are impacted by inversions using RNA- and ATAC-seq
  • inversion frequencies evolve across seasons within C. frigida populations on Sweden's west coast

Previous (and current to some extent) research

I have worked intensively in the field of marine molecular ecology using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures and DNA metabarcoding / shot-gun metagenomics to study coral reefs and temperate marine ecosystems in regards to biodiversity, inter-species networks, biogeochemistry, (meta)phylogeography, and non-indigenous species. During this time, I have gained skills specifically in the bioinformatic analysis of amplicon sequencing data (prokaryotes & eukaryotes) as well as performing fieldwork underwater.
