Research Interests and Accomplishments
Dr. Yongli Xiao joined TIGR in 2001 and is currently a Staff Scientist in the Plant Genomics Department of JCVI. His research focuses on plant genomics including functional and comparative studies. He has designed and developed high throughput RACE and plant transformation pipelines, lead several genome projects, and performed comparative genomic studies. He has been co-PI for several plant genomics projects funded by the Arabidopsis 2010 project and the Plant Genome Program from the National Science Foundation.
He has a B.S. degree in Genetics from the Sichuan University, P. R. China and an M.S. in Microbial Genetics from the Sichuan Industrial Institute of Antibiotics, P. R. China. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Plant Genetics from Iowa State University. Before he came to TIGR/JCVI, he held post-doctoral positions at Iowa State University working on homologous recombination and gene targeting in plants.
