Biography
I am a Masters student with Natasha Yelina's laboratory, my research is focused on establishing the Virus induced gene editing (VIGE) in Soybean. The Yelina lab works on improving meiotic recombinations and my research will use VIGE to enhance trait reassortment by down regulating soybean orthologues of anti-crossover factors that limit crossovers.
