My PhD research interests involve analysing expression genes, and identifying genetic variations, such as genetic diversity and the assiociation of markers with important agronomic traits in Triticum aestivum (bread wheat). I have assembled wheat transcriptomes and identified SNPs by specific perl script, and built up the wheat autoSNPdb database. Currently, I am analysing experssion genes in Triticum aestivum.

Previously, I have developed the CMAP database for pulished Brassica genetic markers against chromosomes from Brassica rapa and CMAP database for genetic markers against wheat chromosome arm 7DS.
