      <b>Context And Mission</b>
     </div><br> <br>
     <div>
      The Transcriptomics and Functional Genomics Lab is interested in understanding how the information encoded in our genome determines gene expression variation across individuals and tissues. To address this, we use a combination of cutting-edge computational analyses, next-generation sequencing, and high-throughput functional assays. Our goal is to perform integrative analyses of “-omics” data to ultimately understand how expression changes in both coding and non-coding genes are associated with disease.
