Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Piroon Jenjaroenpun's research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences focuses on genomic characterization and analysis of various organisms, including bacteria, humans, and animals. His work has involved sequencing and assembling genomes, identifying genes associated with specific traits, and investigating the presence and function of extrachromosomal DNA. Jenjaroenpun has contributed to studies on bacterial pathogens such as *Streptococcus suis* and *Neisseria gonorrhoeae*, examining their genomic features, antimicrobial resistance, and roles in disease outbreaks, particularly in Thailand.

His research also extends to human genomics, including the investigation of circular DNA in the human germline and its potential association with recombination. Furthermore, Jenjaroenpun has utilized and compared different sequencing technologies, such as PacBio and Oxford Nanopore, for transcriptomic analysis in species like the black tiger shrimp (*Penaeus monodon*). He has a significant publication record, with over 160 publications and more than 3,300 citations, reflecting his extensive contributions to the field. Jenjaroenpun collaborates with a number of researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Thidathip Wongsurawat, Intawat Nookaew, Visanu Wanchai, and David W. Ussery.
