Biography and Research Interest
Computational and experimental characterizations of enhancer sequences. We have built cneBrowser, a database of ~200 conserved noncoding elements we have tested for enhancer activity in zebrafish. This is available at http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/chuanglab/cneBrowser/ . We have also built cneViewer, a web tool to identify conserved noncoding elements in the zebrafish genome based on their proximity to genes of known anatomical expression. This is available at http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/chuanglab/cneViewer/ .
