PersonalMentorColleaguesProject JournalFinal Report

 

 

Welcome! I'm Ioana and this is my summer research project with DREU 2009. My mentor is Prof. Liqing Zhang in the department of Computer Science at VTech. I am sharing the research experiencience with another DREU participant, Shilpa Nadimpalli.

Our research project has two aims. The first one is to build a pipeline so we can indetify all the retrogenes for any input genome and create a central database for these genes. The second aim is to construct models of retro-duplication that could explain the birth-and-death of retrocopies in the genome. You can find more details about the ongoing project in the description as well as in the journal.
