Research Interests

Cancer bioinformatics: Develop analysis methods and programs for various kinds of data in cancer.
Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics: Compare genomes to infer evolutionary events and forces shaping the genomes, with a special interest on the evolution of duplicated genes in both primary sequences and function.
Population Genomics: Develop poplation genetic models that incorporate the non-indepedence of mutations with different fitness effect to understand the evolution of genomes.
Computational Biology: Develop open source software and online databases for analyzing high throughput data. We are currently developing a program for detecting gene conversions using machine learning approach. we are also working on developing a high-throughput approach to assign orthologs based on genome rearrangement and on understanding the evolutionary history of duplicated genes.
