We focus on computational and statistical methods in microarray analysis of gene expression, genome alterations, and genetics, inspired by the ongoing collaborations.

 

Genome alteration analysis using SNP arrays.

·  Develop methods to identify LOH and copy number changes in tumor samples with or without paired normals (ref, 2).

·  Integrate with other genomics data such as gene expression arrays, using myeloma samples (ref).

 

dChip software. We are dedicated to developing and maintaining the user-friendly and free microarray analysis software dChip (manual, forum).

·  dChip provides many analysis and visualization methods for gene expression and SNP microarray data and has been used in many research applications.

·  It is the first software to perform model-based analysis of oligonucleotide expression array data and one of the first to perform copy number and LOH analysis of SNP arrays.

·  New analysis methods are constantly developed and tested in dChip through collaborative projects and then provided for broader use.
