Young, Nevin
My colleagues and I use genomics to understand the genetic organization
of legumes, the plant family that includes crops like soybean, pea, and
alfalfa. A key starting point toward our goal is sequencing the
complete genome of a simple model legume known as Medicago truncatula.
With this information, we are working to understand the molecular
evolution that has taken place over millions of years and resulted in
the modern crops.
