The goal of the聽Bourque聽lab聽is to understand mammalian genomes using comparative genomic and epigenomic聽analyses.聽Areas of interest include: the evolution of regulatory sequences, the聽role of transposable elements in gene聽regulation and the impact of genome聽rearrangements in evolution and cancer. Work in the lab involves examining聽the聽billions of DNA base pairs and interpreting how variation impacts basic biology聽and disease. One objective is聽to develop computational methods and resources聽for the functional annotation of genomes with a special聽emphasis on聽sequencing-based assays (e.g. ChIP-seq, RNA-Seq, exome- and whole-genome聽sequencing,聽single-cell analysis). Dr.聽Bourque聽is also in聽an ideal position to contribute and drive large health initiatives that have聽a聽strong genomic and bioinformatics component. His lab develops聽advanced tools and scalable computational infrastructure to enable large-scale applied research projects.
