My name is Shelly and I just finished my Ph.D. in the Soltis Lab at the University of Florida. In the fall, I'll start an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology with the University of Michigan (Dr. Stephen A. Smith). I study whole-genome duplication in angiosperms. See my research site for more about me.
I am a current iDigBio Research Assistant. You can find a round-up of my biodiversity informatics work here.
Some of my recent projects:
- mgaynor1/nQuack: An R package for predicting ploidy level from sequence data using site-based heterozygosity. pkgdown site. Published in Applications in Plant Sciences.
- mgaynor1/AutoPop: R-based autopolyploid population and population genetic simulation. pkgdown site. Accepted for Publication - coming soon!
- Maximum likelihood based ancestral reconstruction: ryanafolk/utremi & PaleoGenerate. Published in Systematic Biology.
- nataliepatten/gatoRs: Geographic and taxonomic occurrence R-based scrubbing. pkgdown site. Published in Applications in Plant Sciences.
- mgaynor1/BiologyPhDStipends: Shiny app for Biology Ph.D. stipend benchmarking. Interactive website. Covered by Nature.
