Our research group focuses on the development of bioinformatics methods for the analysis of next generation sequencing data. It consists of faculty and students from the department of Computer Science both at the University of Kentucky and at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Our work is largely driven by RNA-seq applications at the Cancer Genome Atlas project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and by the equine genome annotation project at the MacLeod Lab in the Gluck Equine center at the University of Kentucky. Our tools are designed to be widely applicable, depending only on a reference genome, and not on any further annotations.
