Neale Lab Research
The research of Neale Lab focuses on the discovery and understanding of function of genes in forest trees,
especially those controlling complex traits, through genetic mapping and genomic science technologies.
In the very near future, nearly all the genes in pine will have been cloned and their DNA sequences determined.
The cloned genes will serve as tools for functional analysis which will lead to undertstanding of complex
patterns of coordinated expression of genes leading to phenotype. Initially, we have focused on traits of
practical value such as wood quality, growth,and disease resistance but we expect to expand our
studies to identifying genes determining patterns of adaptation and response to environmental stresses.
