Beth Pritchard

Research Interests

I'm a Research Assistant in Bioinformatics and am currently working on the development of resources to allow for the storage, visualisation, annotation and analysis of sequence data from the genome project of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus flavus. I am also involved in comparative genomics studies between A. flavus and the closely related fungus A. oryzae in collaboration with The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and the A. oryzae Genome Analysis Consortium.
