Description
Abstract coming soon.
This seminar is also the opening lecture for a three day workshop Unmethylated region (UMR)-sequencing for identifying cis-regulatory regions across populations harboring complex genomes.
About the presenter
Dr Peter Crisp is an expert in crop genomics, epigenomics, and molecular genetics. He is a Group Leader at the School of Agriculture and Food Sustainability at The University of Queensland. Peter's research program focuses on crop functional genomics, epigenetics, and biotechnology, and has significantly advanced our understanding of the contribution of epigenetics to heritable phenotypic variation in plants. His group has invented groundbreaking technologies for harnessing (epi)genetic variation, and their discoveries have led to exciting new avenues for decoding genomes.
Peter's visit is funded by the Centre for Biodiversity Analysis, hosted by Diep Ganguly. Please get in touch if you would like to meet with him during his time in Canberra.
