Research Projects
Genetic Variation in Marchantia:
Marchantia polymorpha (hereafter referred to as Marchantia) is a liverwort, one of the three lineages of bryophytes that colonized the land and radiated over the continental surfaces over 400 million years ago. Due to the long evolutionary history of Marchantia, there are considerable genetic differences between different populations around the world. I am studying the genetic variation in Marchantia using genome-wide association (GWA) to generate novel insights into the evolution of land plants.
Research interests
After my PhD and two post-doc stays, I joined the GMI to study plant omics. In the Dolan lab, I focus on the model plant Marchantia polymorpha, which has been evolving for approximately 400 million years. I use population genomics to investigate its genetic diversity and plant genome evolution and provide a resource to the research community.
