Invited/Interview talk, International Rice Research Institute, Los Banos Philippines, Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines
Here, I talked about various strategies to increase genetic gain and how to maintain the genetic variance in modern breeding programs.
Conference Talk, ASA, CSSA Meeting (2018), Baltimore, Maryland
Here I am talking Shiny based application called as ShinyAIM. I developed this application in R and Shiny aimed to visualize the interactive Manhattan plots generated from GWAS outputs particularly for longitudinal data. The paper describing the ShinyAIM is published in Journal Plant Direct and can be found here.
Invited Talk, University of Nebraska Department of Statistics, Lincoln, Nebraska
In this talk I discuss about Shiny, its applications and how Shiny and R-software can be used to develop the applications in plant genentics.
Invited Talk , Plant Breeding and Genetics Symposium, Manhattan, Kansas
In this talk I discuss about the development of linkage map in Harry x Wesley derived RIL population. I also discussed about our newly developed pipeline using R/qtl and ASMap how to correct for genotyping errors in genotyping-by-sequencing derived SNPs. Also, talked about the validity, accuracy and comparison of the developed linkage map with newly developed genome assembly of wheat. Lastly, discuss the application of linkage map in identifying QTLs for plant height. The talk is on webpage. The detailed instruction about the R codes used to correct can be found in supplementary materials published in Scientific reports journal at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16006-z
Invited Talk, Maharashtra Hybrid Seed Company (MAHYCO) India, Dawalwadi, Jalna, Maharashtra, India
In this presentation I discuss about various genomics resources in wheat and there utilization in for wheat improvement. I also discuss about the current status and future of hybrid wheat breeding.
Invited symposium Talk, Nebraska Plant Breeding Symposium 2017, Lincoln, Nebraska
In this presentation I discuss the development of genotyping-by-sequencing derived linkage map, accuracy and validity of linkage map, and its application to QTL mapping for plant height.
