With funding for over a decade from the NSF and the USDA, the Rice Diversity Project supports QTL
mapping, Genome Wide Association
Studies (GWAS), and
gene discovery using a suite of open - source genetic, genomic and bioinformatic resources developed in the McCouch lab.
These laboratories are complemented by several additional laboratories: one that is focused on computational structure prediction and design (Phil Bradley), one that conducts solution - based protein
mapping studies of large complexes involved in
gene transcription (Steve Hahn) and a third that conducts drug target validation and drug screening
studies (Julian Simon).
