I used maize and its wild relative teosinte as my study system.https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/functional-constraint/Wed, 03 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/functional-constraint/Finding regions shaped by selection and pinpointing the functionally constrained regions that contribute to phenotypes. My work on conserved alternative splicing across grasses was a cover article in GENETICS.https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/structural-variation/Tue, 02 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/structural-variation/Cataloguing structural variation and identifying its functional impact and adaptive role for crop improvement and environmental adaptation.https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/gene-regulation-for-crop-improvement/Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://wenbinmei.github.io/projects/gene-regulation-for-crop-improvement/How gene regulation, from chromatin and DNA methylation to transcription, splicing and translation, shapes phenotypes and environmental adaptation.
