      This position supported the research to improve common bean is grown in the environments that are undergoing climate change conditions. My duties included but not limited to were:1) Obtaining, analyzing, and validating high-throughput genomics data sets and DNA sequencing data for: Population structure, domestication and adaptation genomic signatures, Identification of NB-ARC domain-containing proteins and phylogenetic analysis, Gene prediction, Fine mapping of Meta-QTL associated with complex traits2) molecular genetic mapping research on multiple complex traits related to plant biotic and abiotic stress; The outcome is the results that support the selection of appropriate molecular markers for traits associated with climate resilience. 3) Performance of molecular biology techniques: PCR, electrophoresis and primer design
