Research interest
Based on high throughput DNA sequencing platforms and bioinformatic technologies, we investigate genetic/epigenetic mechanisms in gene function variation and expression regulation, and finally their implication in biological phenotypes, e.g. stem cell differentiation, aging, cancer, and heart diseases.
- Genome sequencing: SNP, indel, and structural variation.
- RNA-seq or Microarray: gene expression, alternative splicing, LINC RNA.
- ChIP- or MNase-seq: nucleosome positioning/occupancy, histone modifications, and other chromatin components, e.g. DNA repair proteins.
Software development
- DyChIPS: a software for dyanmic analysis of ChIP-sequencing.
- DANPOS: a software for dyanmic analysis of nucleosome position and occupancy.
Publication
underlined: first or co-first authorship
