Recognizing The Plant Cell author Yuyun Zhang

Yuyun Zhang, first author of An atlas of wheat epigenetic regulatory elements reveals subgenome-divergence in the regulation of development and stress responses

Current Position: PhD candidate, CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences

Education: BS from Northwest Agricultural & Forest University, Yangling, China

Non-scientific Interests: watching variety shows, playing Animal Crossing

Brief bio: I was fortunate enough to join the group of Zhang Yijing in the summer of 2018. The main research direction of the current research group is epigenomics of wheat. The large wheat genome contains rich regulatory mechanisms and elements. Compared with model plants and animals, there are fewer epigenomics studies on wheat, waiting for us to explore. During the ongoing PhD period, my main subject is to study the regulation of cis-regulatory elements in wheat. In the research process, I can feel the improvement of my skills and learning ability. I will continue to work hard!

个人简介：我于2018年夏有幸加入张一婧老师课题组学习工作。目前课题组的主要研究方向为小麦的表观基因组学。小麦庞大的基因组中蕴藏着丰富的调控方式和元件，而相较于模式植物而言小麦的表观组学研究仍然较少，等待着我们探索。在正在进行的博士期间我的主要课题是研究顺式调控元件在小麦中的调控模式。研究的过程中我能感受到自己的技能，学习能力的提升。在之后的学习工作中我也会继续努力！
