Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ioannis Tzanetakis's research focuses on the molecular characterization and classification of plant viruses, particularly within the *Potyviridae* and *Betaflexiviridae* families. His work involves employing high-throughput sequencing and comparative genomic analyses to understand virus evolution, genome organization, and the development of demarcation criteria for virus classification. Tzanetakis has investigated novel virus families, such as *Rhabdoviridae*, affecting crops like strawberry, and Carlaviruses impacting blueberry. He also studies the expansion of proteomes in viral evolutionary radiations. His collaborations at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include extensive work with Tobiasz Druciarek and Andrea Sierra Mejía. Tzanetakis's recent publications address the complete nucleotide sequence and genomic analyses of viruses like Citrus Yellow-Vein Associated Virus (CYVaV) and the development of infectious clones for newly identified plant viruses.
