PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Bioinformatics and gene discovery in wheat rust pathogens

This project uses next-generation and third-gen sequencing to characterize the genomes of wheat stripe rust, a severe fungal pathogen on wheat crops worldwide. We use these data to identify rust effector proteins to describe their roles in the pathogenesis and host resistance.

This project is open to Bachelor, Honours and PhD students
