Dong An

Dong An is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the College of Veterinary Medicine. His research focuses on vaccine development using paramyxovirus-based viral vectors, virus assembly, paramyxovirus VLP studies, and viral membrane fusion mechanisms.

• Research Interests: Paramyxovirus biology, viral membrane fusion, VLP-based vaccines, virus assembly, and plant stress genomics.

Recent publications highlight his work on single-cell transcriptomics, epigenetic regulation of plant stress responses, and computational methods for transposon classification. His projects include genome-wide association studies for abiotic stress tolerance and the development of multi-omics databases for energy grasses.

The analysis of Dong An’s publications reveals a focus on plant stress responses (maize, pearl millet, soybean), viral vector engineering, and epigenetic mechanisms in both plants and trypanosomes. Key methodologies include RNA sequencing, haplotype assembly, and machine learning for gene network identification.
