Research summary
AI-generated

Keith Woeste studies the genetics and genomics of walnut and related trees (such as chestnut and wingnut species), focusing on their evolutionary history, population genetics, disease resistance, and genome assembly. This research combines genome sequencing, chloroplast genomics, and population-level DNA analysis to understand how these tree species evolved, adapted to their environments, and can be conserved or bred for desirable traits.
