- CURRENTLY AVAILABLE MASTER'S DEGREE THESIS AT GenoDREAM LAB
The proposed thesis topics will be dealing with different approaches and analysis techniques using standard molecular markers as well as “omic” data derived from Next Generation Sequencing platforms. Thus, the use of basic computational skills and attitude for executing software for genetic data analysis and bioinformatics scripting will be requested to accomplish the thesis projects.

Topic: Connectivity in a deep-water fish over large distance: phylogeographic assessment of Pagellus bogaraveo in Mediterranean and Atlantic waters
Thesis Project Aim: The intrinsic discrepancy existing between the definition of fish stock units and the structure of biological populations, emphasizes the urgent need of obtaining genetic data to be integrated with other available sources of information and implementing efficient management strategies of wild fishery resources. Blackspot seabream Pagellus bogaraveo (Brünnich, 1768) is a commercially valuable deep-water fish heavily exploited in the past decade. Analysis of individuals collected from different fishing grounds in the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent Atlantic Ocean will be directed to investigate the species’ connectivity across almost all the species’ dispersal area.
