Introduction
I study horse genomics, and I am currently concentrating on improving the forthcoming new equine reference genome. I have used a metagenomic approach to identify and screen out bacterial contaminants in the genome assembly.
I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Alabama in 2015, and my dissertation focused on systematics and genomics of red algae. In general, I am interested in using genomes to explore important evolutionary and biological phenomena.

The green plants (Viridiplantae) are an ancient group of eukaryotes comprising two main clades: the Chlorophyta, which includes a wide diversity of green algae, and the Streptophyta, which consists of freshwater green algae and the land plants. The early-diverging lineages of the Viridiplantae comprise unicellular algae, and multicellularity has ev...

Although red algae are economically highly valuable for their gelatinous cell wall compounds as well as being integral parts of marine benthic habitats, very little genome data are currently available. We present mitochondrial genome sequence data from the red alga Grateloupia taiwanensis S.-M. Lin & H.-Y. Liang. Comprising 28,906 nucleotide positi...
The complete plastid genome sequence of the red macroalga Grateloupia taiwanensis S.-M.Lin & H.-Y.Liang (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) is presented here. Comprising 191,270 bp, the circular DNA contains 233 protein-coding genes and 29 tRNA sequences. In addition, several genes previously unknown to red algal plastids are present in the genome of G. ta...

Mobile Bay, AL has been the site for the introduction of several terrestrial and
freshwater invasive species, including red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) and
spike-topped apple snails (Pomacea bridgesii). The Gulf of Mexico has also been
invaded by several marine animal species, such as zebra mussels (Dreissena
polymorpha). To date, no in...
