Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I spent most of my PH.D time on identifying and elucidating the functions of cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) through functional genomic, comparative genomics approaches.
My current projects include:
1) Annotate the human functional sequences using human ENCODE and Mouse ENCODE data.
2) Improve the understanding of personal genomics by combing functional genomics, comparative genomics and population genomics approaches.
3) Relationship between immune system and micro biome.
