Core Collection Development Using Genomic Diversity Maximization Algorithms
Development of algorithmic platforms that construct genetically representative core collections from large genebank accession sets using genomic data to maximize allelic diversity representation in manageable subsets for systematic phenotypic evaluation and pre-breeding programs. Enables national and international genebank programs to make their holdings practically useful for breeders by identifying the minimum accession sets that capture the maximum genomic diversity, reducing phenotypic evaluation workload from millions to thousands of strategically selected accessions.

Genomic Surveillance Platform for Herbicide Resistance Evolution Monitoring
Population genomics platforms that track the geographic spread and evolutionary dynamics of herbicide resistance alleles in weed populations through landscape-scale genomic sampling to inform resistance management strategies before resistance becomes widespread. Enables agrochemical companies, regulatory agencies, and grower organizations to monitor resistance evolution in real time and implement geographically targeted stewardship interventions that slow resistance spread before it renders herbicide chemistries ineffective across major agricultural regions.
