Research experience
Investigating Species-specific Gene Expression Regulation using Mouse-rat Fusion Cell
- Identified genes and alternative splicing events that show cis/trans divergent regulation between mouse and rat using RNA-seq
- Discovered that the regulation of alternative splicing is under more predominant contribution of cis-divergence than gene expression
- Poster presentation on Otto Warburg International Research Symposium, 2017
Investigating Cis Elements in Alternative Splicing with Deep Learning
- Developed CNN model to predict PSI level base d on DNA sequence
- Use Activation Maximization/ Minimization to find sequence pattern corresponding to high/low PSI
