Research Interests

Genomics and Bioinformatics

High-throughput technologies are transforming biology, medicine, agriculture, and related fields. Biology is now incredibly data-rich and requires computers to organize and analyze the data. My research program mixes -omic technologies and information technology to make new discoveries in genome structure and function. My lab is highly collaborative, and we always welcome potential research partners. My students can all do lab work and program, and many are co-mentored. Current interests include milk biology, gene prediction, genome assembly, sequence alignment, DNA-protein interactions, intron function, epigenetics, and more.
