Washington State University

Main Lab Bioformatics Group at Washington State University Lead by Dr. Dorrie Main our group has two primary focus areas (1) investigating plant evolution through in silico comparative genomic approaches and (2) developing computational tools and databases as resources for basic, translational and applied plant research. For more information on our group please visit our laboratory website. Our role in this project is to collect, house and integrate all the genomic, genetic and breeding data for Cacao in the project database, and assist in sequence analysis, genome annotation and data standardization. Mainlab contributors included Chun-Huai Cheng (analysis, database and tools) and Eliane Thaines Bodah (database content management).
