I use computational approaches to search for valuable genes in wild relatives of crop species. My study species have included little barley (Hordeum pusillum), wild North American hops (Humulus lupulus), wild relatives of the sugar beet in maritime Europe (Beta vulgaris), the dwarf sunflower (Helianthus pumilus), a relative of the domesticated sunflower from the western United States, and several wild apple species (Malus) from Eurasia. I also like simulated data.
