Chenyang Wang: Plant Physiology First Author

Chenyang Wang, co-first author of “T-LOC: a comprehensive tool to localize and characterize the T-DNA integration sites”

Current position:

Undergraduate in the College of Biological Science, China Agriculture University (CBS, CAU)

Intern at Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IPP, CAAS)

Non-scientific Interests: Art, fiction, and cooking

Brief bio:

Currently, I am an undergraduate at CBS, CAU, and working at Dr. Huanbin Zhou’s lab as an intern. It was a great opportunity for me to work with lab members of Dr. Zhou under the guidance of Dr. Li and Dr. Zhou to begin my journey in scientific research. The prospect of solving pragmatic problems in agriculture fits well with my general interest in life science, thus it was lucky for me to have the opportunity to work at IPP, CAAS, and I am looking forward to joining Dr. Zhou’s lab for further studies after graduating from CAU this summer.

My bachelor’s thesis is about the experimental validation of the locus identified by T-LOC, a robust tool on T-DNA integration sites. We successfully recovered all the T-DNA integrations site from 48 transgenic rice plants with a diversified pattern of T-DNA integration, which deepen our understanding of the well-explained T-DNA transferring. We hope T-LOC would benefit the scientists in the field of scientific research and breeding.

个人简介

我目前是中国农业大学生物学院的一名本科生,有幸于2020年进入周焕斌老师实验室进行实习,并在周焕斌老师和李少芳老师的指导下开启我的科研之旅。我对生命科学有着广泛的兴趣,因此,也非常感谢能够有在农科院植保所进行实习的经历。同时,我也已经成功考取了周老师实验室的硕士研究生,十分期待在今年本科毕业后加入周老师的实验室继续深造。

我本科毕业论文期间参与的课题为对T-LOC软件所预测出的T-DNA整合位点进行验证。利用这一解析T-DNA整合位点的实用工具,我们成功地寻得了48种转基因水稻中全部的T-DNA整合位点,这些多样的插入模式可以进一步加深我们对于T-DNA插入的理解。我们希望T-LOC会为育种与研究领域带来更多的便利。
