Luana, an undergraduate student in Biology, presents her research in the field of genomic analysis, focusing on the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis. The study employs next-generation sequencing technologies to explore the organism’s genome in depth. During the seminar, Luana detailed the sequencing strategies and genomic analysis approaches used in her investigation, highlighting recent findings that suggest a possible presence of gut-associated microbiota — a discovery that challenges the classical hypothesis of microbiota absence in this species.
