Research
My project involves developing a protocol to make Genomic Selection in Wheat using Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) approach. GBS is a method that use enzymes to reduce the complexity of genomes to produce libraries of samples ready for sequencing. In row crop plant breeding GBS can help to connect genotype to phenotype and then be used to predict phenotypes that never were tested in the field. The primary goals of my research are: develop a model that allows make predictions from a training population set (make the genomic library, sequencing, develop a model of prediction with the genotypic and phenotypic data) and finally use this model to make genomic predictions of new populations of wheat and evaluate the accuracy of the model.
