Research summary

Alencar Xavier works on genomic prediction and machine learning methods for plant and animal breeding, with a strong focus on maize and soybean. Their work combines statistical genetics, environmental data, and computational tools to predict traits like crop yield, disease resistance, and genetic markers, and includes some applications extending to human genetics (e.g., Alzheimer's disease marker identification). This research helps breeders use genetic and environmental information to make better predictions about which plant varieties will perform well.
