Congratulations to lab member Cari Schmitz Carley on her successful PhD thesis defense! Cari made several contributions to advance genomics-assisted breeding for potato, including developing software to determine allele dosage in autotetraploids, selecting parents based on genomic-estimated breeding values, and determining the genetic correlation between locations in the National Chip Processing Trial. We wish Cari the best in her new position with the potato genetics and breeding program at the University of Minnesota.
