　　PI

　　Dr. Xingtan Zhang joined the AGIS as a research professor in October, 2020. He received the bachelor degree from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2009 and his Ph.D. degree in Plant Science from Chongqing University in 2015. Xingtan has been working on plant functional genomics since 2009 and his research interest involves in 1) assembly and phasing of complex genomes, 2) development of bioinformatics tools and 3) mining of functional genes related to agronomic traits in crops. During the past decade, his researches have been published in a series of high-impact SCI journals, such as Cell, Nature, Nature Genetics, Nature Plants and Nature Communications.

　　Research Interest

　　1. Assembly and phasing of complex genomes, including polyploid and highly heterozygous diploid genomes.

　　2. Development of novel bioinformatics tools based on NGS and/or single-molecular sequencing technologies.

　　3. Data mining of functional genes underlying important roles in plant development and crop domestication

 

　　Major Achievement

　　Our team has developed the ALLHiC pipeline that can be used to solve the phasing problem of autoploid genomes based on Hi-C data, and this method has been successfully applied to chromosomal-scale assembly of an auto-tetraploid sugarcane genome (Zhang, et., al. Nature Genetics, 2018; Zhang, et., al. Nature Plants, 2019). By analyzing the genomes of two Ficus speices with distinct features, we revealed a couple of biological questions in the Ficus genus, including evolutionary history of X and Y chromosomes, sex determination, development of aerial roots and fig-wasp co-evolution and extensive introgression in this strict mutualism system (Zhang, et., al. Cell, 2020, cover story; Wang, et., al. Nature Communications, 2021).
