The Dept. of Agriculture Grove-First project tests injectable therapies directly in the field. These are results from Phase 1 harvest last weekend. OTC is what is available to growers now. Fruit from M36-treated trees have 3-4 points higher Brix. M36 will advance into a Phase 2 trial this year.

Fighting in Gaza is escalating, with Israeli strikes across the territory and no designated humanitarian zones. We are continuing to serve meals - WCK is assessing conditions daily and adapting based on where we can safely operate. Our network of kitchens and restaurants is

New paper alert! We applied split k-mer analysis (SKA) to haplotype mitochondrial genomes correcting irreproducibility in MLST analyses. Excited to share my research from the @HeckLab_USDA & Liliana Cano with the scientific community! Now on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our newest preprint! D⌬uglas Stuehler, the lead on this work, is an a Experience ORISE Internships and Fellowships scholar & computational biologist in my group. In work funded by USDA Science, he shows that split k-mer analysis can be used to improve haplotyping & ID populations of the Asian
