Sabbatical Scientists Perot Saeleo 
 Dr. Perot Saelao is a molecular biologist with an emphasis in computational biology working at the USDA-ARS Veterinary Pests Genetics Research Unit in Kerrville, Texas. His research interests center around understanding the genetic root of disease resistance and susceptibility and how improvements in the lab can be translated to improvements in the agricultural sector. Dr. Saelao attempts to utilize genetic and genomic approaches to create a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms involved in host-pathogen and pest interactions. He believes that by applying his expertise in both the molecular sciences and computational methods that he can better develop a holistic understanding of the systems investigated in the lab.
 While at the EBCL Dr. Saelao will be working with two scientists - Dr. Bon and Mr. Kashefi - on understanding population genetic differentiation and genomic signatures of local adaptation of cattle fever ticks and their parasitoids. Dr. Saelao will develop and construct next-generation sequencing libraries of native populations of cattle fever ticks (CFT) for whole genome sequencing and perform computational analysis on datasets generated while at the EBCL. His overall goal will be to develop a computational pipeline to identify markers associated with parasitoids and their hosts from sequencing data.
