New preprint describing ChronoGauge - our ensemble model for estimating circadian time of single time-pointed transcriptomic data in plants 🧪🧬🖥️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Machine learning models reveal environmental and genetic factors associated with the plant circadian clock

The circadian clock of plants contributes to their survival and fitness. However, understanding clock function at the transcriptome level and its response to the environment requires assaying across h...

My PhD is focused on trait discovery in herb crops of the Apiaceae family. Together with Elsoms Seeds, we are exploring how low-cost genomics can accelerate breeding of these previously under-resourced crops. ^Charles

Hello! I'm Charles, a PhD student in the A. Hall lab @earlhaminst.bsky.social . I'm taking over the lab account this week. Follow along for an intro to what I do in the field of crop genomics! 🧪 #PlantScience
