Spring 2012 Bioinformatics Seminar Series (ST598B, STAT 59800-RD1)

Day and Time: Tuesday; 4:30-5:30pm

Location: PHYS 223

Details: This is a 1 credit course (ST598B), where attendence and participation determine your grade outcome.

Every registered student is allowed "one excused" (non-work related) absence.

Although this is a seminar course, everyone is welcome to attend. Weekly e-mail announcements of the seminars are mailed every Thursday (with reminders on Monday). If you would like to be added to the Bioinformatics mailing list and/or suggest a speaker, please contact R.W. Doerge: doerge_at_purdue.edu .

Research and Bio. :

My research lies on the interdisciplinary boundaries of many fields (Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Biological and Plant Sciences, Genomics and Epigenomics) that are currently involved in assessing genomic based questions. Statistical Bioinformatics brings together many scientific disciplines to to ask, answer, and disseminate biologically interesting information in the quest to understand the ultimate function and control of DNA. Toward this end, my research program encompasses four broad areas as applied to both diploids and polyploids: the development of statistical methodology for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and transcriptomics (microarrays and next-generation sequencing); the analysis of genetic mapping and (expression) QTL experimental data; the analysis of the epigenome; and the development of methodology to combine data and/or results from genomic and epigenomic investigations.
