Dr Sanjeev Kumar Sharma

Sanjeev is a member of the Potato Genetics and Breeding group at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee - specialising in the field of potato genetics and genomics including next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, genome-wide association studies and genomic selection. He was actively involved in the international potato genome sequencing project notably construction of the reference potato chromosome-scale pseudomolecules. Currently, he is exploiting novel genetic and sequence-based genotyping approaches for trait analyses and allele mining in potato targeting economically important and disease resistance traits.
