Brief bio: I received my PhD from China Agricultural University and then joined Wheat Genetics and Genomics Center as a Postdoc. My research now focuses on evolutionary genomics and regulation of gene expression in wheat and its closely related species, as well as the development of tools and databases for omics big data analytics to accelerate crop improvement. In previous work, I developed a collinearity-incorporating homology inference tool and a homology database for Triticeae species and constructed a wheat integrative regulatory network that enables trait-associated gene discovery for crop improvement. In this study, we generated a unique translatome dataset of developing bread wheat grain using ribosome profiling and polysome profiling and presents a comprehensive and detailed overview of the translational control of gene expression, facilitating molecular designed breeding for crop improvement.

个人简介：在中国农业大学获得博士学位后，我继续在小麦研究中心进行博士后研究。我主要进行小麦及其近缘种的进化基因组学和基因表达调控研究，并开发组学大数据分析工具以加速作物改良。在之前的工作中，我开发了基于共线性的同源基因推断方法及小麦族同源基因数据库，构建了用于功能基因发掘的小麦整合基因调控网络。在该研究中，我们利用核糖体谱和多聚核糖体谱分析技术获得了小麦籽粒发育翻译组图谱，全面解析了基因表达的翻译调控机制，为小麦精准设计育种提供了理论基础。
