PI: |
YES |
Taxa Studied: |
Plants |
Techniques Employed: |
Solexa (Illumina) Sequencing, QTL Mapping |
Research Description: |
The research of the Lowry lab is centered on identifying the genetic and genomic mechanisms of ecological adaptations and how those adaptations contribute to the formation of new species. To understand the physiological, developmental, and genetic mechanisms of adaptive divergence between plant populations, the Lowry lab is focused on research in two major emerging model systems for evolutionary genomics: Monkeyflowers (Mimulus)and Panicum grasses, including the bioenergy crop switchgrass |
