Sample projects:

u  Web tool Design: Arabidopsis Tagging (V.1.0) (http://www.arabidopsislocalizome.org/)

Database, algorithms, and query interface developed to automatically pick best available BACs and primers required recombineering-based gene tagging for Arabidopsis genes

u  Fungal genome sequences assembly and annotation, discovery and analysis of complete gene sets from major plant pathogenic and industrially important fungal species

u  Analysis and functional classification of transcripts from the nematode Meloidogyne incognita

Contig assembly and clustering, BLASTX/TBLASTX, functional assignments (GO and KEGG)

u  Statistical consulting: split-split plot model with repeated measurements to evaluate herbicides in turfgrass systems.

Analysis of experimental design, model selection, analysis of variance, LS mean estimation, test of fixed effects

u  Longitudinal analysis of QT interval prolongation of a new drug which might cause cardiac arrhythmias.

Covariance structure selection, staurated model and polynomial models comparison, confidence bounds prediction
