The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Applied #WheatGenomics aims to develop #climateresilient varieties for South Asia; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal
Excited to share our new genotyping and bioinformatic methods paper published in Nature Scientific Reports used to identify chromosome dosage and aneuploidy nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
I enjoy papers that provide a sense of realism.

In this paper, Crain et al show that drone based phenotypes have variable correlations with target traits in different environments due to GxE and non-causal relationships.
I'm excited to announce that I'm joining Clemson University as an Assistant Professor in June. Updates about positions available will be here: fieldpheno.org
Excited to share our work by @wwang0604 and @zitongyuzt Virus-based gRNA delivery into wheat can create targeted deletions in cis-regulatory region or edit multiple genes in any cultivar. Opportunity for high throughput editing of adapted wheat varieties! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Was great to have Dan Voytas visiting Wheat Genetics Resource Center k-state.edu/wgrc/ Thanks for a great discussion about the role of gene editing in crop improvement!
