Past Research Projects

This is a list of research projects that we have undertaken in the past that are no longer active. We also provide here resources that were produced in these projects and are freely available, but which are no longer supported.

Projects

• Mathematical modeling of yeast oxidative stress was a collaboration with R. Laubenbacher and V. Shulaevat VBI funded by the NIGMS and NSF. We conducted a systems biology study of the dynamics of the response of yeast to cumene hydroperoxyde through microrarrays, proteomics and metabolomics.
• Metabolic Engineering of Plant Vitamin C Biosynthesis was a collaborative project with Craig Nessler and Boris Chevone at Virginia Tech funded by NSF and USDA. We discovered new myo-inositol oxigenase enzymes in Arabidopsis.
• Medicago truncatula functional genomics and bioinformatics was a collaboration with Rick Dixon of the S.R. Noble Foundation and was funded by the National Science Foundation. More details about this project on its NSF Plant Genome Research Program.
• Grape Bioinformatics was a collaborative project led by Grant Cramer from the University of Nevada-Reno, and funded by the NSF Plant Genome Research Program. More information at the project's main website.

DOME

The DOME database system was constructed to support the data obtained from the Medicago, grape and yeast projects above. This system is no longer being developed, however we are happy to distribute the software to anyone who wants to use it. Unfortunately there are no means for us to provide support.
