Dr. David W. Ussery Laboratory

The Dr. David W. Ussery Laboratory is where I did scientific research from August 2005 - November 2005.

Research topics

• Comparative genomics (microbial)
• Melecular evolution (microbial)
• DNA microarray
• DNA microarray analysis

Results

The research I did in this laboratory yielded a paper published and a Web Server:

• CBS Fungal Database: DNA structural atlases for complete chromosomes and genomes.

Programmer, Server architect, and administrator; November 2005-December 2005.
