Who we are
Scientists studying maize diversity
We are a group of scientists who worked on an NSF-funded project called “Biology of Rare Alleles in Maize and its Wild Relatives”.
This project was an accomplishment-based renewal of the NSF-funded project “Genetic Architecture of Maize and Teosinte”. Scientifically, however, the project extended over more than a decade, and has pioneered the methods for genetic mapping, evolution, and population genetics, which are now applied to hundreds of species.
