Bioinformatics Plant - Pathogen Interaction

Hello everyone, My name is Gabriel. I am doing my PhD in Spain and I'm looking for a group to spend a period of 3 months in to learn issues related with the study of plant-pathogen interactions using bioinformatics tools. The expenses are all covered.

For 2 years I am working on studies of molecular evolution in filamentous fungi. My background is biology, but I have knowledge of Python and UNIX command line.

My thesis is focused on a Computational approach to understand the evolution of pathogenicity genes in fungi, making it a very broad topic, so I could focus my goals in many directions.

The stay should preferably be in a European country other than Spain.

I hope for suggestions.

Regards

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel, this site is for asking questions related to bioinformatics, not for asking about about research opportunities. Please rephrase your post in terms of a bioinformatics question, or I will close it as off-topic.

Hello Gabriel, I am undertaking a similar research on Entomophthorales. It will be interesting to know what genes you are looking at...

Hi Casey, I am sorry for my post. I did not know that I can not post such messages. Because this is what I'm looking for, I have not really a question of bioinformatics, then leave the post closed. Cheers, Gabriel

Some Googling gives me:

I am sure there must be also research done on this at Rothamsted:

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena (Germany) does a lot of cool science in the field:
