Research interests

Our research group focuses on using genetic data to detect and dissect the effects of domestication and breeding on various crops, especially grapes and apples. By sequencing and analyzing our food's DNA, we are unraveling the story of our intimate relationship with the organisms that sustain us. The insights we gain not only give us a better understanding of our past, but they also inform us on how to better manage our food supply in the future. To find out more about our lab, visit聽
