There are so many interesting research ideas out there, here are a few of mine! These are projects I am working on, but are a bit sidelined due to my time constraints, but if you want to help on them, let me know, let's work together!

Genome-wide association studies have successfully found many links between genetic variation and phenotypes. However, over the past decade, the statistical and software tools used for doing […]- Date

Why do we have eQTLs? There is a lot of gene regulatory elements, and variations occur by random change, so it makes sense there are eQTLs? […]- Date

SNPs that effect expression levels of genes (eQTLs, expression quantitative trait loci), have been found for many genes. Often genes have more than one. These eQTLs […]- Date

GWAS and TWAS are two main ways to find underlying drivers of phenotypes. GWAS looks for associations between genetics (G) and phenotype (Y) while TWAS looks […]- Date

Many genes harbor a loss of function variant with no clear negative effect. If you look at a population, the frequency at which genes carry any […]- Date
