Welcome to the Mutwil Lab!
​The Mutwil lab is located within the School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
We use systems biology to elucidate the function of genes in the plant kingdom. Today, knowledge of gene function is mostly confined to Arabidopsis thaliana, the main model organism in plant research, which limits our understanding of the plant kingdom. To remedy this, we are characterising also other plant species in terms of genomics, gene expression, metabolomics and protein-protein interaction networks. Based on this biological data we can then predict gene function with state-of-the-art network ensemble methods and other dry-lab techniques. This knowledge is important to understand plants and to tailor them to our needs.

Selaginella expression atlas and analysis of  transcriptional programs behind vasculature, cell wall, secondary metabolism and roots is out.

Time flies and the the two PhD students did a good job defending their projects and work. Jonathan talked about his project that uses machine learning to identify genes involved in secondary metabolism, while Qiao Wen described her systems biology analysis of heat acclimation project. Good job!
