This award funds research to develop advanced computational methods to study the evolution of structural variations in genomes, focusing on duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation events, to better understand their role in evolutionary innovation across various taxa.
Description
The project involves developing statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing structural variations in genomes to understand the evolutionary impact of structural variations such as duplication, deletion, inversion, and translocation. The research will utilize data from humans and other taxa and aims to ascertain the general rules by which different types of structural variation contribute to evolutionary innovation.
