Graduate student projects include:
- Identification
and analysis of genes involved in homologous recombination
in maize.
- Characterization of transposon-induced DNA repair
at the maize r1 locus.
- Identification of the basis for loss
of hobo-induced genetic instability in the Drosophila
Notch locus.

Dr. William Eggleston received his Ph.D. in 1990
from The University of Wisconsin –Madison. Eggleston is a molecular geneticist
interested in genome organization, homologous recombination, DNA
repair and genome-wide mechanisms of reorganization and gene regulation.
