Biography

Gill Bejerano is an associate professor of Developmental Biology, Computer Science, Pediatrics - Medical Genetics.He is a member of Bio-X,Cardiovascular Institute, Child Health Research Institute, Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford Neurosciences Institute.He is a member of Editorial Board in Gene (2007 - 2008)and Technical Advisory Board, Numenta (2008 - Present).The Bejerano Lab studies genome function in human and related species. We are deeply interested in the following broad questions: Mapping genome sequence (variation) to phenotype (differences) and extracting specific genetic insights from deep sequencing measurements.

Research Intrest

Genotype - Phenotype relationships in humans,Genotype - Phenotype relationships between mammals.,Extracting genetic knowledge from high throughput genomic assays, Vertebrate transcription regulation.
