DESCRIPTION:Andrew Farmer \nNational Center for Genome Resources\, Bioinfor
 matics Fellow\n\nMr. Farmer's work focuses on the use of bioinformatics to
  address questions in plant biology\, with an emphasis on enabling crop im
 provement efforts though the development of clade-oriented information res
 ources utilizing phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses. He leads N
 CGR participation in the USDA-funded  Legume Information System (http://le
 gumeinfo.org) as a collaborative effort with partners at Iowa State Univer
 sity and USDA-ARS. He also serves as co-PI on an NSF-funded grant to devel
 op a federation of independently developed and separately maintained web-b
 ased genomic data resources in the legume family\, the Legume Federation (
 http://legumefederation.org). His current research interests are focused o
 n how plant species have adapted to a wide range of environments through d
 iversification mechanisms associated with large scale genome duplications\
 , while at the same time maintaining core functions. He participates in a 
 variety  of open source  software development  projects and in other effor
 ts to facilitate data sharing and improving adherence to standards among g
 roups involved in information resource management in plant biology.
