Ting-Shuang Yi’s group is mainly conducting researches on plant molecular phylogenetics and evolution and reconstructing the “iFlora” platform. In collaboration with colleagues, we firstly proposed the development of the next-generation Flora, or iFlora. The group has developed the plastome assembly (GetOrganelle) and annotation (PGA) toolkits, which have been widely used and play a key role on plastid phylogenomics; carried out researches on molecular phylogenetics and evolution of angiosperms, gymnosperms, especially the nitrogen-fixation clade, achieved a series of research results on the reconstruction of tree of life, species diversification, evolution of key traits, and genome diversification in these groups.
