Researchers from institutions across South Carolina are using cyber-enabled genomic and bioinformatic approaches to predict and address the impact of climate change and environmental stressors on ecosystems.

The chestnut genome is being leveraged to learn more about North American hardwood trees such as Oak and Beech and to breed an American chestnut resistant to Chestnut Blight Disease.

Dr. Yniv Palti at the USDA ARS has created the first physical map for the rainbow trout.

Chen lab research centers on understanding how cells communicate, with a focus on signal transduction by human macrophages and the host-pathogen interaction.

The Feltus lab is combining co-expression networks with biological data to discover and validate sub-networks of coordinated genes with a common function.

ANT-C, the Antennapedia homeotic gene complex, contains anterior Hox genes that specify the identity of head and mouthpart segments.

The Hawaiian silversword alliance has undergone spectacular adaptive diversification despite minimal genetic differentiation.

This database provides centralized access to all publicly available SSRs from cotton as well as the standardized panel screened data for many of these microsatellites.

The value of strawberry production in the United States was over 1.5 billion dollars in 2006. Lack of genomic resources in this important crop has hampered efforts to breed better varieties.

The genus Mimulus is a model organism for flowering plants. Its ecological and phenotypic diversity make it an exemplary candidate for ecological and evolutionary genetics.

Species in the flowering plant genus Aquilegia have undergone a very recent adaptive radiation and present a unique opportunity to investigate the molecular genetic changes underlying adaptations.
