Project Title:
Functional genomics of Cuscuta species
Project Description:
My most recent research project involved locating an upstream sequence of microRNA loci within four Cuscuta (dodder) species found in Pennsylvania which required me to perform differential analyses on R and operating the command line.
Previously, I worked with Drs. Maximova and Guiltinan to examine the properties of somatic embryogenesis via tissue culture on Theobroma cacao (chocolate tree).
