Armando Bravo (pictured), a postdoctoral scientist in the laboratory of Maria Harrison, worked with Thomas York, a bioinformatics analyst in Lukas Mueller’s group, to identify a collection of genes required for plant-fungal symbiosis, using a genome comparison approach. The publication is the culmination of more than four years of research and collaboration between the labs, and capitalized on the growing number of publicly available plant genomes. Bravo plans to continue using bioinformatics methods in his future work. Read more
