Research Interest

SUSANTA K. BEHURA research work is focused on insect molecular biology, genetics and genomics. The specific areas of interest are 1) Comparative genomics, 2) Transcriptomics 3) Codon bias and translational selection, 4) Mitochondria and Numt, 5) Transposable elements and repeat sequences, 6) Non-coding RNAs, 7) Genome sequencing and analysis, and genome-wide association studies. SUSANTA primary interests are on mosquito genomics, particularly on functional and evolutionary genomics of vector competence of Aedes aegypti to dengue virus infection.
