Wet-Lab/RNA Biology & Bioinformatics/Computational Biology

The proposed research involves both a laboratory component and computational component. Lab research will involve optimization of fork-ligation, optimization of DNA-RNA hybrid ligation, and methods necessary or advantageous in library preparation procedure. The bioinformatics/computational biology research will involve the integration of software packages from the group into the Galaxy Server, expression analysis of small RNA sequencing data sets, and visualization of small RNA-RNA interaction networks. The expected outcomes of this project are a deep understanding for the student of the link between laboratory experiments and computational biology and a significant contribution to the computational biology research at the Institute of Biochemical Engineering.
