Current Research Developing systems to extend and expedite genome annotation including areas such as transcription analysis, automated functional annotation of genes and extending links between genes and groups of genes to integrate the gene by gene view into an over-arching genome level view. The Laboratory of Computational Genomics aims to create and use new software tools to explore the unfolding world of genomes. Our tools aim to integrate, analyze, and visualize the output of high throughput molecular biology experiments in the context of complete genome sequence data. We apply these tools to specific biological questions in collaboration with experimental biologists and to the problem of structural genomics target selection.
Gene chips enable researchers to detect expressions of a large number of genes at once.
They are small glass wafers that resemble computer chips, but their surfaces are studded with bits of DNA rather than transistors.
