Research interests

My major interest is in the development of Computational Biology methods and resources to advance work in comparative genomics at JIC, chiefly in the Arabidopsis/Brassica model-to-crop system. I am currently engaged in a project to annotate the sequenced genespace of the Brassica rapa genome. I am also developing work in the newly emerging Brachypodium-wheat-rice system. Recently I have been exploring the use of Solexa transcriptome sequencing for marker development in complex crop genomes.
