Bioinformatics and high-throughput genomic technologies, including Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore, Bionano, Hi-C, Iso-Seq, RNA-Seq, GWAS, whole-genome re-sequencing, and T2T assembly in plants, are included in the knowledge. He has developed reference-grade, chromosome-scale whole-genome assemblies for species such as rice, mangroves, and pomegranates. Additionally, he has collaborated with individuals from other countries on projects such as the GenomeAsia100K project. Dr. Natarajan's research focuses on identifying the genetic determinants of key traits in vegetable and fruit crops. By leveraging advanced genomic approaches, such as GWAS, BSA-Seq, Genomic Selection, pan-genome analysis, RNA-Seq, and whole-genome sequencing, his work aims to pinpoint the specific genes and variants that drive crop performance. This integrative strategy not only enhances our understanding of crop genomics but also supports the development of cultivars with improved quality, yield, and resilience. Furthermore, Dr. Natarajan has established a primary genomics facility and supercomputing infrastructure, where he has mentored over 40 researchers in bioinformatics and genomics. He has also been a pioneer in machine learning in phenotyping and gene expression studies. His work has been significantly supported by the USDA and NSF funding, which has contributed to the improvement of crop resilience and productivity by utilizing state-of-the-art genomic research and bioinformatics tools.
