In his nearly eight years working in the peanut breeding and genetics sectors, HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology faculty investigator Josh Clevenger, Ph.D., has grown passionate about improving crops for more robust and sustainable agriculture. This led to a collaboration with HudsonAlpha computational biologist, Walid Korani, Ph.D., and the creation of a computational tool called Khufu to quickly and accurately identify and analyze variants in such complex genomes.
