Structural and functional regulation of Arabidopsis thaliana telomeres

Our group studies the regulation of the structure and function of Arabidopsis thaliana telomeres and is integrated since it started by Dr. Miguel Ángel Vega Palas and by María Isabel Vaquero de Sedas, who has a bachelor degree in Biology. In 2021 we got a Spanish grant that included three people: María Isabel Vaquero de Sedas, María Dolores Cubiles de la Vega, Full Professor of Statistics at the University of Seville and Doctor in Informatics, and myself, Miguel Ángel Vega. Our project is multidisciplinary since María Isabel Vaquero and I are experts in plant molecular biology and María Dolores Cubiles is an expert in processing and analyzing massive data. In addition, we are currently collaborating with Dr. Matteo Pellegrini, Full Professor of Bioinformatics at UCLA University (USA). Indeed, we published a paper with Professor Pellegrini in 2016 and have currently another one under review, also with him.
