I am excited to say our lab @[email protected] received an NSF CAREER award to explore the repeated evolution of sex chromosomes in plants, develop new methods to control sex determination, and expand our ACTG: American Campus Tree Genomes educational program.

Have you ever wanted to test for accelerated substitution rates while accounting for #phylogenetic discordance? #PhyloAcc-GT can do that! Great to work with Han Yan, Zhirui Hu, Scott Edwards, @timsackton, and Jun Liu!
