Soil microorganisms play fundamental roles in cycling of soil carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients, yet we have a poor understanding of how soil microbiomes are shaped by their nutritional and physical environment. In this study, we investigated the successional dynamics of a soil microbiome during...

The novel fungal strain, Fusarium sp. DS 682, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the perennial grass, Bouteloua gracilis , at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Kansas. This fungal strain is common across North American grasslands and is resilient to environmental fluctuations. The draft...

Soil fungi facilitate the translocation of inorganic nutrients from soil minerals to other microorganisms and plants. This ability is particularly advantageous in impoverished soils, because fungal mycelial networks can bridge otherwise spatially disconnected and inaccessible nutrient hotspots...

A major challenge in biotechnology and biomanufacturing is the identification of a set of biomarkers for perturbations and metabolites of interest. Here, we develop a data-driven, transcriptome-wide approach to rank perturbation-inducible genes from time-series RNA sequencing data for the discovery...
Machine learning is a core technology that is rapidly advancing within type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) grant is studying early cellular response initiating β cell stress in T1D through the generation of heterogenous low- and high-throughput molecular...

The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study is searching for factors influencing the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. Research has shown that there are certain genes that correlate to higher risk of developing T1D, but not all children with these genes...

The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) seeks to find environmental factors that can trigger the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. DAISY follows children with high-risk of developing T1D based on family history or genetic markers. Genes, diets, infections, and...
