RESEARCH INTERESTS
ON-GOING PROJECTS
|
|
I have basic computer knowledge like Microsoft offices (ms-word, excel and access), internet browsing, SPSS, SAS, POPGENE, PAST, NTSYS STATISTICA, Gene scan and molecular analysis software
Due to my ongoing interest in biotechnology, I had MSc. Degree in biotechnology. I gained hands-on experiences on various techniques like DNA extraction, PCR , gel Electrophoresis and analysis of its product. Hence, the core line of my research interest is improvement of species in differentperspective through molecular breeding starting form molecular characterization, gene mapping and manipulation of its genetic makeup (genomic editing, molecular cloning, and genetic engineering). I am particularly interested in identification,characterization and modifying of the complex trait and its associated genes using modern biotechnological tool such as molecular markers, CRISPR/Cas9 System..etc.
