Shujun Ou develops computational tools and methods for analyzing plant and animal genomes, with a particular focus on identifying and characterizing transposable elements (mobile, repetitive segments of DNA) and assembling complete, gap-free genome sequences. This work supports genome studies in crops such as rice, maize, strawberry, cotton, apple, and potato, helping other researchers understand genome structure, evolution, and traits relevant to crop breeding.
