Our group’s current research interest: Link to heading

  1. Developing applications/pipelines to accommodate the Nanopore DNA/RNA sequencing platform.
  2. Developing toolkits for genome assembly, scaffolding, finishing, improvement and comparative analysis.
  3. Studying the nucleotide modifications (like m6A) in RNAs (including viral/prokaryotic/eukaryotic RNAs).
  4. Mechanism of hybrid incompatibilities between Canorhabditis briggsae and nigoni.
  5. DNA modifications in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
