Rate My Professor Zhangjun Fei

His laboratory builds biological databases and tools for efficient storage, management, dissemination, and mining of diverse ‘omics’ datasets, alongside large-scale genomic resources for research and crop enhancement. Notable publications include: Wu et al. (2025) 'Phased chromosome-level assembly provides insight into the genome architecture of hexaploid sweetpotato' in Nature Plants; Zhang et al. (2025) 'Refining polyploid breeding in sweetpotato through allele dosage enhancement' in Nature Plants; Chen et al. (2025) 'Graph pangenome reveals the regulation of malate accumulation in blood-fleshed peach by NAC transcription factors' in Genome Biology; Hu et al. (2025) 'Subgenome dominance in allotetraploid Actinidia valvata regulates RNA m6A modification for waterlogging tolerance' in Advanced Science; and Lai et al. (2025) 'Genome of root celery and population genomic analysis reveal the complex breeding history of celery' in Plant Biotechnology Journal. Dr. Fei’s contributions have garnered over 46,000 citations, establishing him as a leader in plant bioinformatics and genomics. He was recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2021 and contributed to the BTI Tomato and Fruit Biology Group awarded the USDA Secretary of Agriculture Honor Award in 2014.
