Led by William Barbazuk · Biology
What we study
The Barbazuk Lab studies how plant genomes are organized, how genes are arranged, and how they are regulated, using computer analyses of DNA and RNA data. They compare genomes of crops like maize and tomato and the model plant Arabidopsis, and examine processes such as gene prediction and alternative splicing.
