Yanping Long received her graduate and postdoctoral training in plant genetics and molecular biology with the cutting-edge applications in sequencing technologies. The interdisciplinary background of her integrates both “wet lab” and “dry lab” techniques. Based on the emerging single-cell sequencing and three-generation long sequencing technologies, she has led the development of FlsnRNA-seq for single-nucleus full-length sequencing, FLEP-seq for single-molecule full-length nascent RNA analysis, and Pore-C for Arabidopsis thaliana genome multiway interactions and associated methylation modifications. She has published papers as first author (including co-first authors) and co-corresponding authors in high impact journals, including Nature Plants, Nature protocols, PNAS, Genome Biology, Plant Biotechnology Journal and New Phytologist.
