I am working on computational genomics of cancer. Particularly, I am developing methods for DNA methylation analysis, RNA-seq analysis and integration of high-throughput genomics datasets. My other general interests are as follows: - Gene regulation and gene regulatory networks in disease - DNA sequencing analysis and its applications to genome biology - Highly conserved elements and their regulatory function - Transcription factor binding site prediction and related algorithms - Application of machine learning methods to biological problems
