Rotation Students:
the lab offers opportunities in bioinformatics to test hypotheses with large datasets. Example projects may include patterns of selection in gene family evolution, gene network analyses, transcriptome analyses, and genome annotation. It is possible to perform some experimental manipulations of plant ecophysiology if the project is discussed ahead and planned for.
