What's this, haemoglobin genes are associated with bipolar disorder?!

Oh, and obviously I've done a ton of work on #oats and #GenomeAnnotation and #GeneMapping, and looked at at bunch of different types of data from #PlantGenomes - this ended up in a Nature publication on the oat genome with me as one of the first authors: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04732-y. #GenomicPrediction and #PlantBreeding are things I'm interested in. I've also dabbled in #DeepLearning, mainly #ConvNets for protein contact prediction and image segmentation.

Assembly of the hexaploid oat genome and its diploid and tetraploid relatives clarifies the evolutionary history of oat and allows mapping of genes for agronomic traits.

Right now, a lot of the work I'm doing focuses on mapping-by-sequencing to identify causative genes from our TILLING population. I'm really enthusiastic about that, and we've found it to be a very resource efficient way of narrowing in on candidate genes. Would love to chat more about this if anyone's interested! #GeneMapping
