Melissa Wong, a PhD student from the National University of Malaysia and co-advised by Prof. Cannon and Prof. Wickneswari Ratnam, joined the Ecological Evolution group in 2009 for several months to learn bioinformatic techniques for analyzing next-gen sequencing techniques.  Ms. Wong conducted her study on the whole transcriptome sequence from two parental species of Acacia to discover SNPs to use as breeding markers in a field-tested set of hybrids.  The final published version of her paper is now available on the BMC Genomics website, where it is currently ‘Highly Accessed’.
