Integrating Functional Genomics with Systems Biology to Discover Drivers and Therapeutic Targets of Human Malignancies
… integrate functional RNAi screens with systems biology of cancer genomics to tailor potential therapeutics for reversal of drug-resistance or treatment of aggressive tumors. I developed a series of algorithms and tools to deconvolute, QC and post-analyze high-throughput shRNA screening data by …

Using a complex model of sequence evolution to evaluate and improve phylogenetic methods
The performance of phylogenetic methods was evaluated by testing their success in recovering the true tree from computer simulated data. Data were generated on a variety of tree shapes under a complex model of sequence evolution based on the work of Aaron Halpern and William Bruno. Parameters of …

Systematics, diversity, and origins of upper cretaceous continental molluscan fauna in the infra- and intertrappean strata of the Deccan Plateau, central India
<p> The Deccan Plateau in western and central India has been a major area of interest for researchers since the 1800s. In 1840, James Sowerby described the molluscan collection sent to him by John Malcolmson. In 1860, Stephen Hislop identified new molluscan species and redescribed based on better …

Systematics of the Endangered Mauremys mutica and Mauremys annamensis
<p>Almost all turtle species in Asia are going extinct due to the demand for turtle products as food and medicine. A difficulty in creating effective conservation measures is that very little is known about the evolutionary relationships between populations and species. It is believed that several …

DNA barcoding of Jatropha curcas
<p>"DNA barcoding involves sequencing a standard region of DNA to be used as a tool for rapid species identification. The cytochrome C oxidase gene (COXI) is widely accepted as the standard barcode for animals and currently there is no barcode for land plants. The Consortium for the Barcode of Life …
