research

Designing and interpreting large-scale experiments to understand pathway structure and its relationship to phenotype and human disease.

Current experimental interests:
  • Developing technologies to efficiently phenotype many gene deletion combinations in S. cerevisiae under multiple growth conditions, with initial application to genes involved in transcription and DNA repair.
  • En masse protein interaction screening technologies using next-generation sequencing of recombinant DNA barcodes.
  • Systematic development of yeast complementation assays to assess human functional variation.
Current computational interests:
  • Systematic analysis of genetic interaction to reveal redundant systems and order of action in genetic pathways.
  • Integrating large-scale studies — including phenotype, genetic epistasis, protein-protein and transcription-regulatory interactions and sequence patterns — to quantitatively assign function to genes and guide experimentation and disease association studies.
  • Analysis of allele-dependent, environmental or co-factor-dependent changes in protein and genetic interaction networks
