The Comai Lab is in the Section of Plant Biology and the UC Davis Genome Center. We study how changes in chromosome number and type affect regulation and function of genes and genomes in Arabidopsis thaliana. We are developing TILLING services for rice, wheat, tomato, and tetraploid Arabidopsis. Click on the research links below to find out more.
