Scientific Career Highlights
As Head of Comparative Genomics, led the transition
of the JGI from a human genome sequencing center to a comparative genomics
institute
Led the development of the $20 million/year
JGI Community Sequencing Program providing genomic data to the scientific
community through peer review
Have overseen numerous whole genome sequencing
projects
Have overseen activities of $60 million/year as a member of JGI Senior Management
Committee
Led 22 programs funded through competitive grant applications totaling over
$12 million
Have supervised 31 long-term researchers and
30 guest researchers
Led the development of the PHRINGE ( Phylogenetic
Resources for Interpreting Genomes ) database, an advanced analysis tool for
interpreting patterns of genome evolution and for inferring gene function
Developed databases and tools for analyzing
and annotating organelle genomes
Made significant contributions to understanding
the genome duplications at the base of the vertebrates, the evolutionary transfer
of genes among intracellular compartments, modes of genome rearrangement,
recognizing regulatory elements in DNA sequences, using genome-level characters
for reconstructing evolutionary relationships, understanding the effects of
various genome processes on DNA sequence evolution, and reconstructing the
evolutionary relationships at the deepest levels among major groups of animals,
plants, and protists
