发帖数: 1 | 1 MS/PhD in Life Sciences (bioinformatics) UNLV Spring 2015
We are seeking motivated students who are excited to begin their study in
the newly developing field of bioinformatics. We study the genomes of fruit
flies, mosquitoes, mammals and humans to understand the biological signals
embedded in the DNA.
Potential projects include studying gene rearrangements using comparative
genomics of closely related species, or inferring genomic regions that are
sensitive to insertion/deletions in the human genome. The interest is
diverse but all projects in the lab are motivated by evolutionary questions.
How does the genome evolve? Is there any order in how genes are arranged in
the genome? Can we harness the evolutionary signal to understand the effect
of certain mutations? All research projects will involve some algorithm
development or statistical modeling.
More information can be found at
http://faculty.unlv.edu/mirahan/
Ideal candidates would be students in the field of computer science who are
motivated by questions in life science or students with a life science
background with some experience in programming. Students (either MS or PhD)
will be supported through a TA/RA position.
Please contact prof. Mira Han (mira.han at unlv.edu) with a CV if you are
interested in this program. |
