We are interested in designing graph and optimization algorithms to extract insight from biological data. In particular, we focus on the following classes of problems:
1) Genomics & genome assembly: RNA-seq expression quantification; genome assembly; large-scale sequence search, etc. This work is currently supported by a Data-Driven Invesgator grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. It was previously supported by NIH grant 1R21HG006913, and NSF grant CCF-1319998.
2) Chromatin structure and function: Algorithms for determining the spatial organization of eukaryotic genomes from Chromosome Conformation Capture data. Supported by NIH grant R01HG007104.
3) Protein interactions and networks: Evolution of interactions; protein function prediction; clustering within networks; protein structure prediction. This work was supported by NSF grant EF-0849899 and by NSF grant CCF-1053918/CCF-1256087 (CAREER award).
