Genome Studies of Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression during iPSC Skeletal Muscle Induction and Differentiation
ATAC-Seq analyses of chromatin accessibility and transcription factor representation March, 2018 (expected)
Identified open chromatin domains in each cell stage, iPS, S1 and S2
Annotated peaks based on genomic context
Identified stage-specific TF DNA binding motifs
ISO-Seq analysis of RNA expression and alternative RNA splicing
• Co-locate RNA transcript identified by ISO-seq with open chromatin regions by ATAC-seq
•Identify differentially expressed genes during stages and genes that produce RNAs with alternative exon usage
•Generate exon maps of alternative spliced forms of RNAs Investigation of Phylogenetic and Structural Interaction of ALDH2 for its Related Disease Animal Model, WPI December, 2016
Constructed phylogenetic tree to compare the evolutional relationship among various species
Simulated the 3D structure of ALDH2 and its ligand and visualization of their interaction Anomaly Detection on Thyroid Disease Dataset November, 2017
• Preprocessed the raw data with feature selection and dimensionality reduction
• Used classification methods, decision tree and random forest to detect patients referred to the clinic is hypothyroid and the most import feature for the detection
• Applied clustering methods, k-means, hierarchical method and DBSCAN for the anomaly detection
• Evaluated such methods using precision, recall and confusion matrix The Design and Implementation of the Supermarket Information Management System, HUST September, 2011
Generated purchase orders and sales orders for daily transaction management using Visual Basic and SQL Server, managed inventory and product related information and queried inventory and sales orders PUBLICATION
