Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ioannis Tzanetakis' research focuses on the molecular characterization and taxonomy of plant viruses. He has investigated the epidemiology of emerging criniviruses and contributed to the taxonomic update of viral families and orders, including Secoviridae, Arenaviridae, and Bunyavirales. His work has involved the development of next-generation sequencing pipelines for virus detection and discovery, as highlighted in publications such as "High Throughput Sequencing For Plant Virus Detection and Discovery" (2019). Tzanetakis has also characterized specific viruses, including the Rose rosette virus, and explored the phylogenetic relationships between different virus families. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Tobiasz Druciarek and Andrea Sierra Mejía, with whom he has multiple shared publications.
