About Joel Dacks

Joel Dacks, With an exceptional h-index of 54 and a recent h-index of 35 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Alberta, specializes in the field of Evolutionary cell biology, membrane-trafficking, molecular evolution, microbial eukaryotes.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Evolutionary analysis identifies a Golgi pathway and correlates lineage-specific factors with endomembrane organelle emergence in apicomplexans

Phytoplankton ecology in the early years of a boreal oil sands end pit lake

Arf family GTPases are present in Asgard archaea

The evolutionary origins of the lysosome-related organelle sorting machinery reveal fundamental homology in post-endosome trafficking pathways

Tracing back the expansion of the endomembrane rescue systems in parasitic Parabasalids to the ancestral origin in its free-living sister lineage

Contractile vacuoles: A rapidly expanding (and occasionally diminishing?) understanding

Evolutionary analysis of cellular reduction and anaerobicity in the hyper-prevalent gut microbe Blastocystis

Endosomal vesicle fusion machinery is involved with the contractile vacuole in Dictyostelium discoideum
