How can we use genome sequences to better understand the biology of organisms in molecular detail?


We utilize emerging large-scale sequencing technologies to explore the molecular biology of organisms on a genome-wide scale.


These methods enable the measurement of gene activity for all genes in a genome.  This capacity facilitates understanding of how, when and why cell types differ as well as the genetic component of certain diseases such as cancer.
