computational genomics
As a result of new technologies, genetics research has become a data-rich discipline with enormous complex datasets. Our teams are developing algorithms, data formats, and software to interrogate these datasets and integrate genome, phenotype, and health record data to understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype and predict disease risk.
