Research Interests:
1. High-throughput mRNA-seq data analysis
Using widely accepted mainstream software and pipeline to discover novel transcripts, differential expressions, and function annotations.
2. High-throughput smallRNA-seq data analysis
Detect conserved and novel small RNA, target prediction, differential expressions and functional analysis.
3. High-throughput ChIP-seq data analysis
Utilizing widely accepted MACS2 software and latest programs for motif prediction, peak annotation, functional analysis and data visualization.
4. High-throughput genome resequencing data analysis
Detection of SNP, genetic variation, selective sweep and introgression as well as Genome-wide association study (GWAS).
