Potential research project directions
Organelle genomics and method development
How can new sequencing and computational methods deepen our understanding of organelle genome diversity? We develop computational approaches to recover plant organelle genomes and study their structure, diversity, and evolutionary history.
- Long-read organelle genome assembly. Extending GetOrganelle to long-read data, with an emphasis on resolving complex genome structures and improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
- Large-scale comparative genomics and machine learning. Connecting large-scale comparative genomics with machine learning, including genome language models, to investigate genome organization and evolution.
