My focus over the past several years has been on developing tools and resources for the analysis of cereal crop genomes. We are now generating a large sequence indexed collection of maize transposons that will be used by the maize research community in functional genomics studies. We have also developed techniques and statistical tools for the analysis of gene expression profiles in maize. In the coming years, I hope to move my research toward utilizing these tools in the analysis of light ... More > |
