Research

We focus on developing innovative and efficient methods to analyze large DNA sequence data sets in order to provide genome-scale understanding of cellular function. Our current and past research contributions integrate sophisticated machine learning techniques and statistical methods that answer questions such as:

  • what are the exon-intron structures of genes?
  • how do we use RNA sequencing to reconstruct the splice variants that are transcribed in different cell types and conditions?
  • how do we use sequence data to determine the levels of gene expression?
