In a lot of my work in bioinformatics, I have been using hidden Markov models (HMMs). As a postdoc with David Haussler at UCSC we developed the so-called profile HMMs (refs). Since then I have applied HMMs to membrane proteins (refs) and gene...
In our lab, we seek to characterize and to compare genomes in order to better understand genetic and evolutionary processes linking genotypes to phenotypes.
Sequencing and decoding plant genomes have been integral in our approaches.
The...
