The Graduate Group established the Designated Emphasis (DE) in Computational and Genomic Biology to provide specialized multi-disciplinary training and research opportunities in the different facets of computational biology and genomics. The DE is a specialization offered by existing PhD programs, which we refer to as Associated Programs. At UC Berkeley, acquiring a DE is like earning a “minor” with a PhD degree. How does a graduate student acquire a Designated Emphasis (DE) in Computational and Genomic Biology? |
 In collaboration
with Alexander Glazer and others, we’ve developed a method for identifying “interesting”
sites in protein sequences. With Michael Eisen and others, we have investigated
methods for locating binding sites for transcription factors in yeast and higher
organisms. We are beginning a study with Glazer and Kimmen Sjölander, attempting
to evaluate statistically the evidence for lateral gene transfer in selected organisms.
We are also interested in understanding, theoretically, the reasons for success
and failure of different statistical methods in biological and other contexts.
