Creators

MSTmap was developed by Yonghui Wu (PhD 2008, CS&E, Distinguished Engineer at Google Brain), Dr. Prasanna Bhat (postdoc, Botany and Plant Sciences), Dr. Timothy J. Close (Professor, Botany and Plant Sciences), and Dr. Stefano Lonardi (Professor, Computer Science), at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). This web server, along with the Python library, were created by Amirsadra Mohseni (Ph.D. candidate, Computer Science). Please forward any inquiry to Stefano Lonardi (stelo@cs.ucr.edu).
