Mehmet Göktay

I joined to Hancock's Group in September 2016. I obtained my MSc degree from Izmir Institue of Technology under the supervision of Anne FRARY and Jens ALLMER. I mainly worked on de-novo genome assembly and identification of new genomic markers for three crops including: Spinacia oleracea, Faba bean and Corylus avellana. Furthermore, I also worked on identification of genes/pathways for Boron hyperaccumulation in Puccinellia distans. Currently, my main interest is to understand genomics of structural variation in African Arabidopsis.
