Research Description
In the past decade, my research interests focused on the development of computational tools for processing biological big data and the study
of biological issues related to molecular evolution and genetic regulatory networks. The major computational challenge that we face was to
design methods that can be executed e ciently and e ectively solve important biological problems. On the other hand, the main challenges
for our biological studies included analyzing and extracting meaning from patterns within large data sets, while at the same time, proposing
testable hypotheses to explain natural mechanisms. With regard to the tool development, we have created powerful tools for genomic
sequence alignment (GS-Aligner), visualization of sequence alignment results (SinicView and Phylo-mLogo), identifying the breakpoints of
rearrangement events (GR-Aligner), and assembly of a giga-base-pair genome from lllumina short reads (JR-Assembler). In addition, a new
method for assembling short sequences from RNA-seq (JR-Trans) has been also developed recently. In the collaboration with biologists from
various institutes and research centers in Academia Sinica, we have used computational approaches and made signi cant discoveries related
to gene regulation in C4 plant leaf development, gene duplication in C4 plant photosynthesis evolution, miRNA regulatory networks in B cell
di erentiation, and genetic regulatory networks in cardiac hypertrophy.
Currently, my research interests have been changed to the eld of optogenetics in observing neural activities in nervous systems. We are
going to develop a low-cost uorescent mouse head-mounted miniature microscope and related image processing techniques that can be
applied to observe neuron activity in brain in a freely moving mouse, especially in chronic pain study.
