Dr. Clarke is also the lead researcher for the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative which recently received an additional $960,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute for Food and Agriculture to expand it program. "The initiative, which also includes researchers from the University of Arizona and the University of Idaho, aims to increase understanding of how genetic code affects physical and behavioral traits — or phenotypes — in crops and livestock. Additionally, the initiative aims to standardize and streamline how phenomic information is collected and shared by agronomists, researchers and others."
