Research interest
Based on high throughput DNA sequencing platforms and bioinformatic technologies, we investigate genetic variation, epigenetic regulation of gene expression, and their implications in biological phenotypes, e.g. cancer, stem cell differentiation, aging, and neuron diseases.
- Epigenetic: nucleosome and chromatin structure, DNA methylation, histone modifications, transcription factors, and DNA repair proteins.
- Transcription: gene expression, alternative splicing, LINC RNA.
- Genetics: SNP, indel, and structural variation.
Software development
- DANPOS: a software for Dyanmic Analysis of Nucleosome and Protein Occupancy by Sequencing.
