Objective:
The objective of this research project is to identify genes important for aflatoxin contamination through conducting microarray experiments in Aspergillus flavus.

Approach:
An Affymetrix whole genome Aspergillus flavus microarray will be developed. Genes will be profiled and identified that are involved in fungal development, pathogenecity, and that are important for aflatoxin contamination of crops.
