My research involves the application of next-generation sequencing technologies to understand biological problems. My group has a focus on small RNA bioinformatics and we have published several tools for detection of miRNAs and their targets. More generally we are interested in understanding mechanisms of gene regulation at the transcriptional and post-transcription level using a variety of NGS applications.
