Jing's research at K-State focused on prediction of alternative splicing events. He has gone on to use computational biology to investigate microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNA (siRNAs) at Washington University in St. Louis. His research addresses the role of these RNAs in complex diseases including Alheimer's and psoriasis as well as stress response in rice.
Karthik worked on Semi-supervised and Transductive Machine Learning Algorithms, Constraint Based Information Retrieval Techniques, Large Scale Data Processing and Monitoring. He also worked on the statistical analysis of the genomic sequences using PERL and R.
Martin worked on protein-protein interaction prediction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He is now a programmer at the science and technology consulting service Tessella Inc.
Paul is developing a RNA-seq analysis pipeline and planning to use Tophat, Cufflinks, Cuffcompare, and Cuffdiff (when a reference genome is available) and Trinity, Tophat, Cufflinks, Cuffcompare, and Cuffdiff otherwise. Once this analysis is finished, the data is saved to a database so that Biologists can easily filter and query the RNA-seq results to find important information.
Swapnil used Textpresso (ontology based information retrieval and text-mining system) to mine for scientific literature for the organism 'Tribloium Castaneum'. He also developed the ontology for Tribolium Castaneum.
