Research Abstract

My lab develops advanced computational algorithms to perform sequence alignment, sequence assembly and mutation discovery. We have extended expertises in the analysis of whole-genome sequencing, Hi-C and single-cell data. We are interested in applying these computational skills to cancer genomics data to improve the accuracy of point and structural mutation calling and to study the mosaic of cancer cells.
