Description of Research Activities:
Research involves: Discovery of genetic variants in soybean, wheat and common bean genomes through high throughput DNA and RNA sequence analysis; Development and application of molecular genetic markers and genomic research tools such as gene chips to identify QTL and genes controlling biotic and abiotic stress resistance, agronomic and quality traits; Identification of desirable genetic diversity for germplasm improvement; Application of knowledge of bioinformatics, biostatistics to breeding practice, genetics and genomics research; and Development of algorithms and computer programs for the genetic analysis of large datasets containing high throughput sequences and genotyping data.
