Research Interests

I work on the use of phylogenetic models in comparative genomics. My main focus is on characterizing the set of human structural RNA, which include both independent molecules and regulatory elements of protein-coding transcripts. These functional elements are difficult to identify by single-sequence analysis, but can be detected by comparative means. An important part of this work is the functional characterization, where I have a special interest in the structures overlapping protein coding regions.
