Selection signatures and population dynamics of transposable elements in lima bean
The domestication process in lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) involves two independent events, within the Mesoamerican and Andean gene pools. This makes lima bean an excellent model to understand convergent evolution.

Rapid creation and quantitative monitoring of high coverage shRNA libraries. [PDF]
Short hairpin RNA libraries are limited by low efficacy of many shRNAs and by off-target effects, which give rise to false negatives and false positives, respectively. Here we present a strategy for rapidly creating expanded shRNA pools (approximately 30

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]
Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...
