Fanny HARTMANN

My main research interest consists in studying evolutionary processes and genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation, genome evolution and diversity. I use fungi as model.

My current research projects consist in investigating the evolution of large regions of recombination suppression on fungal mating-type chromosomes, in particular in the Sordariales order (Ascomycota) and the role of chromosomal rearrangements, such as inversions, in adaptive processes, such as host specialization of fungal plant pathogens.
