Moray's Website
Hello, and welcome to my website. I’m Moray - currently a researcher at the University of Dundee studying how plants respond to heat stress with the Balcerowicz lab. Previously, I was a PhD student at the University of St Andrews where I studied potato genetics and disease resistance, supervised by Prof. Ingo Hein and Prof. John Jones. My undergraduate studies were at the University of Glasgow where I studied Molecular and Cellular Biology.
Here’s my cat Rhubarb.
Software
- Resistify - A command line program for identifying resistance genes in plant genomes. It is designed to be user-friendly, rapid, and high-accuracy. It is available on bioconda.
- HISS - suite of pipelines for the high-throughput analysis of resistance gene sequencing data. It was originally implemented in Snakemake, but a Nextflow alternative has been developed.
