Work
Has worked on the following:• Analysing RNA secondary structures• Identifying regulatory motifs, specific patterns in DNA • Identifying transcription factor binding sites• regulation of gene expression
o Predicting of promoter regions• Protein-DNA interaction
o determining the specificity and affinity of protein-DNA bindings
• Identifying non-protein coding functional sites in DNA
Tools developed
• BEEML: a tool to estimate binding energy• PromFD: Predicts promoter regions• LOCUS, GeneParser: Finding genes in genomes• RNASampler: Predicts RNA secondary structure• Consensus: finds patterns in DNA and proteins• APACE: automated protein annotator
