Amy’s new teaching tool, “A bioinformatics pipeline to explore transcriptional regulation in plants”, is now available online. This modular tool explores generation of a co-expression network and network analysis for transcriptional regulation. You can read more about this tool in the blog post here and access the resources on this page.

Amy and Katy funded by NSF to study medicago/rhizobia mutualisms!
NSF IOS Award #1645875 Systems genetics of symbiotic quality in legume-rhizobium mutualism. We are going to build “symbiosis networks” using genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data to determine the molecular underpinnings of high and low partner quality in the medicago/sinorhizobium mutualism. Can I get a woo woo! Go team!
