Recruiting students
We welcome enthusiastic and motivated students of both biology and computer science who are interested in computational genomics using large datasets obtained from multiple NGS assays (e.g., ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, Hi-C, and single-cell analysis). The current topics are:
- Development of integrated analysis methods using multiple NGS assays (e.g. epigenome, gene expression and 3D structure)
- Whole genome annotation based on diverse epigenomic data (e.g., histone modifications) to identify novel functional regulatory regions
- Development of methods for detailed analysis of 3D structural data (e.g., Hi-C and Micro-C)
- Prediction of chromatin interactions using large-scale epigenomic data
- Functional analysis of cohesin and CTCF, proteins essential for regulation of chromosome structure and gene transcription
- Trajectory analysis using single-cell data to investigate cell fate regulation
- Gene network reconstruction and comparative network analysis using single cell data
