Research

Gene Prediction and Computational Genomics

Starting from the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project, I have been actively involved in more than a dozen (inter-)national genome projects serving as an expert annotator and provide high quality computational genome annotation for research communities. The advance of sequencing technologies posts a great challenge in current gene prediction workflow and my main interest is integrating large scale genomics data into a next generation genome annotation platform to provide a high quality structure and functional annotation.

Computational genomics is a technology driven field. I am interesting in developing and applying high throughout sequencing technologies together with large scale, genome wide analysis methods to revel the complex interaction between biological systems.
