Gerstein Lab

Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:48:20 -0500

The focus of the Gerstein Lab is interpreting personal genomes, particularly in relation to disorders, such as cancer. This endeavor has a number of related aspects described below. Moreover, the approaches we take have broad connections to a variety of data-intensive fields, within the emerging discipline of data science.

Personal Genome Variation: SVs
Human Genome Annotation: Processing Next-Gen Sequencing Data
Comparative Genomics: Pseudogenes as Molecular Fossils
Protein Structure and Function: Macromolecular Motions
Analysis of Diverse Networks
Genomics at the Forefront of Data Science

Jarvis’ laboratory

Tue, 18 Mar 2014 18:53:47 -0500

Dr. Jarvis’ laboratory studies the neurobiology of vocal communication. We want to know how the brain generates, perceives, and learns behavior. We use vocal communication as a model behavior. Emphasis is placed on the molecular pathways involved in the perception and production of learned vocalizations. We use an integrative approach that combines behavioral, anatomical, electrophysiological, and molecular biological techniques. The main animal model used is songbirds, one of the few vertebrate groups that evolved the ability to learn vocalizations. The overall goal of the research is to advance knowledge of the neural mechanisms for vocal learning and basic mechanisms of brain function.

Roth Lab

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:43:45 -0500

The Roth Lab seeks insight into biological systems through genome- and proteome-scale experimentation and analysis.

Current computational interests:

Systematic analysis of genetic epistasis to identify redundant or compensatory systems and to reveal order of action in genetic pathways.
Using knockout, knockdown, or overexpression, or other perturbation experiments in combinations of genes in S. cerevisiae, C. elegans or mouse.
Using genome-scale genotyping of natural polymorphisms in S. cerevisiae and human populations.
Alternative splicing and its relationship to protein interaction networks.
Integrating large-scale studies including phenotype, genetic epistasis, protein-protein and transcription-regulatory interactions and sequence patterns to quantitatively assign function to genes and guide experimentation.
