RNA sequencing of wild and cultivated Olea europaea shed light on the domestication and selection history of the olive tree Muriel Gros-Balthazard AgreenSkills Meeting - 10/12-15/2015

My background — My research interest : Biology and archaeology � The origins of perennial crops — PhD at IRD/CBAE Montpellier, France (2009-2012) Origins, evolutionary and biogeographical history of the date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera L.): The contribution of genetic and morphometrics — Postdoc at Univ. Fribourg, Switzerland (2013-2014) Using whole-genome sequencing data to infer the domestication history of the date palm

My project (2015-2017) — The olive tree cultivation is facing new biotic and abiotic challenges — Need to boost breeding programs and cultivar improvements — Prerequisite: Understanding of the olive tree demographic and selective history Inference of Detection of Bioinformatic Breeding RNA-seq demographic genes under treatment programs data history selection
