and colleagues
Impacts outside academiaLegislation: Work with European Parliament & Commission
Sequencing of whole genomes and studying diversity of
nuclear and organellar DNA
Discussing risk assessment and scientific advice with EU Health Commissioner Dr Vytenis Adriukaitis
We study genomes and evolution mechanisms to find, measure and exploit genetic
variation in crops, farm animals, and their wild relatives
Developing superdomesticationstrategies to exploit biodiversity
for sustainable agricultureWheat with virus resistanceidentified in wheat breeding trials
Diversity, wild genes and recombination in sheep landraces
Analysis of repetitive DNA to understand chromosome organisation and function
New methods forbiotechnology
Food fraud and safety detection
Work on hybrids and alien introgression with novel quality and
disease resistance characters
We teach about genomes, crops, biodiversity, breeding and sustainable agriculture
We edit journals andreview research
