Research Interests
- Identification of candidate genes using large gene expression and genetic variants datasets for Maize and Sorghum.
- Recognition and correction for signals than can add bias or noise to large gene expression analysis.
- Call of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from approximately 800 Maize RNA-Seq libraries using GATK.
- Application of molecular tools to identify alleles with a putative loss-of-function phenotype to study candidate genes previously identified.
