Rate My Professor Olga Kardailsky

Kardailsky has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals, demonstrating her impact on the academic field. Key contributions include "Stress, novel sex genes, and epigenetic reprogramming control gonad differentiation in a rockfish" (Science Advances, 2019), which investigates sex determination and epigenetic mechanisms; "The elephant shark methylome reveals conservation of epigenetic regulation across jawed vertebrates" (FASEB Journal, 2017); "Ancient DNA of Phoenician remains indicates discontinuity in the settlement history of Carthage" (Scientific Reports, 2018), uncovering European genetic ancestry in ancient Carthaginian samples; "An isotopic and genetic study of multi-cultural colonial New Zealand from Omata Stockade" (Journal of Archaeological Science, 2021); "The Pacific Rat Race to Easter Island: Tracking the Prehistoric Arrival of Rattus exulans Using Ancient and Modern Mitochondrial DNA" (Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017); "Mitogenomes resolve the phylogeography and divergence times of New Zealand's enigmatic black robin" (Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022); "Hairpin-bisulfite sequencing of cells exposed to decitabine identifies two noncytosine DNA modifications" (Epigenetics, 2021); "Population genetic structure of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera in Aotearoa New Zealand" (Marine Biology, 2024); and "The radiation of Austral teals (Aves: Anseriformes) and the evolution of flightlessness" (2024). These studies have advanced knowledge on prehistoric dispersals, species radiations, genetic continuity, and genomic adaptations, influencing research in evolutionary history and biodiversity conservation.
