Biography
In the last decade, ‘big’ sequencing data has helped drive identification of candidate genes and their variants for agronomically important traits. The Genomics facility exploits Next Generation Sequencing using an Illumina NextSeq 2000, and long-read sequencing is enabled using our newly acquired Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION P2i. Routine plant DNA extraction and Sanger sequencing services are also available. In conjunction with geneticists, environmental scientists and computational biologists at the Hutton, we can generate and utilise these large genomics datasets, enabling high-throughput variant discovery and gene expression analysis, essential for prioritising gene targets.
Pete works with many research groups at the Hutton, and internationally, to help develop and exploit genomics tools in our major crop species, barley, potato & soft fruit, their associated pathogens, and in environmental samples, including soil and rhizosphere microbiota.
