We are using different statistical techniques to create a model that will predicts hybrids and planting rates given certain soil properties to minimize cost and maximize revenue for breeders. This research is in collaboration with the New York Corn and Soybean Growers...

Repetitive sequences have been used for DNA fingerprinting and genotyping for more than a quarter century. Now, with our knowledge of whole genome sequences, repetitive sequences can be used to identify polymorphisms that can be mapped and scored in a systematic...

The collection of high-quality phenotypic data remains a bottleneck for progress in plant breeding, including the application of improved genomic tools. The phenoApps project seeks to increase the overall efficiency of cassava and wheat breeding programs through...
