Research Interests
I have developed a series of primer sets to amplify single-copy nuclear protein coding genes across the fungal kingdom. I'm currently using these primers within the lichenized fungi in support of AFToL2.
I'm also using these primers for a more detailed look at Teloschistales with Ester Gaya.
