Projects

Four species, one research approach.

My research focuses on problems in plant genetics and genomics — genome-wide analyses, sequencing, and annotation — with the ultimate goal of integrating that work into breeding programs and better crop improvement strategies. Here's a summary of the projects I'm working on.
