Sequence Analysis and Genomics

Comprehensive computational approaches to analyze DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, including whole-genome sequencing, variant calling, and comparative genomics

Sequence Analysis and Genomics

Overview

Sequence analysis and genomics encompasses the computational methods used to analyze biological sequences at scale. This research area covers everything from raw sequencing data processing to high-level comparative genomic studies.

Key Topics

  • Whole-genome sequencing and assembly
  • SNP/indel detection and variant calling
  • Genome annotation and functional element prediction
  • Comparative genomics and synteny analysis
  • Long-read sequencing (PacBio, Oxford Nanopore)
  • Population genomics

Applications

  • Disease variant discovery
  • Crop genome improvement
  • Phylogenomic studies
  • Personalized medicine
