Research interests

Our group focuses on the use of comparative genomics and large-scale data analysis methods to understand the complex relationships between genome sequences and phenotypes of Oryza sativa. We not only have a bioinformatics focus on comparative genome and proteome data, but also have a biochemical aim on the function of genes and proteins.

Another research interest in our group focuses to analyze the physiological and molecular mechanism controlling plant developmental and resistant processes.

Our specific research interests include:

Analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data in order to detect genomic, genic and epigenomic variation related to specific phenotype of Oryza sativa.
Development of bioinformatics tools to predict protein PTM sites and protein interaction network in rice and Arabidopsis in response to environmental stresses.
Identification of gene function, protein PTM sites and protein-protein interaction in plant in response to environmental stresses.
Physiological and molecular mechanisms controlling plant development processes.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

We are analyzing the physiological and molecular mechanism controlling plant resistant or developmental processes by the biochemical methods since 2003. Meanwhile, we are investigating the expression of proteins in rape in response to environmental stresses with the proteomic and bioinformatics tools.
