Guannan Wang from our lab is presenting his work on plant adaptations to high Boron stress (6:20 pm; Extremophile Genomics; W402; Pacific Salon2) at the 2020 Plant and Animal Genome meeting, San Diego. @LSUResearch @LSU_BioSci #PAG2020

PhD in Genomics We are looking for enthusiastic graduate students to join our lab in 2020. They will be invited to join two recently funded NSF & DOE projects in the lab. Email maheshid@lsu.edu for details. NSF project: https://t.co/9w3JlGXuqp DOE project:

Our lab featured on LSU College of Science news. Where Will Our Farmlands be in the Next Decade? https://t.co/C6IME0syON We are looking for a new graduate student to join our lab in 2020 Fall. Please RT.

We were recently awarded an NSF-EDGE award to develop functional genomics tools for our extremophyte models, Schrenkiella parvula and Eutrema salsugenium. Link to the abstract;

Congratulations Kieu for passing your general exam.

We are presenting our work at #LPSC2019 on growing plants on Mars. New experience with a lot of good discussion about habitation on Mars and other planets. A new area to discover more for plant biologists. #LSU_BioSci #LSUResearch

Genome browsers for extremophyte models, Schrenkiella parvula and Eutrema salsugineum are now available. Please check it out in the following link; https://t.co/xFn2Lzjbgv @LSU_BioSci

Dong-Ha Oh, Research Ass. Prof in my group is giving the talk at PAG at 4:25pm. Title @Clfinder-Orthnet: Creating Comparative Genomics Frameworks for Closely-Related Genomes Using Co-Linearity Networks. #PAGXXVII

The Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip transformation for the extremophyte Schrenkiella parvula is now published. The full paper and the video is available in the following link;

Happy New Year 2019.

It was nice to have Dr. Simon Barak from Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel as a CDIB/BMB seminar speaker at LSU. In collaboration with his group, we have recently published a review article; Link; https://t.co/TN37J8cqFb.

We have recently developed the CLfinder-OrthNet pipeline. This is useful to detect co-linearity among multiple closely related genomes, finds orthologous gene groups, and encodes the evolutionary history of each orthologue group into a network (OrthNet). https://t.co/iDt6puq5k1
