Biography
Dr. SEAN Myles is an Professor at Dalhousie University of Canada. Dr. SEAN Myles earned a BA (Saint Thomas University),MSc (Oxford University),PhD (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) .Dr. SEAN Myles research interests are using genetic data to detect and dissect the effects of domestication and breeding on various crops, especially grapes and apples. By sequencing and analyzing our food's DNA, we are unraveling the story of our intimate relationship with the organisms that sustain us. The insights we gain not only give us a better understanding of our past, but they also inform us on how to better manage our food supply in the future.
