Multi-replicate detection of consensus epigenomic activity ( github ) from high-throughput sequencing data sets (ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, FAIRE-seq, etc.). Detection of short and broad regions of differential epigenomic activity from multi replicate, multi-condition high throughout experiments and pattern detection of combinatorial interactions between multiple epigenomic processes ( github ) . Single-cell ChIP and ATAC-seq modeling via deep learning variational autoencoder. Co-advised with Joseph Ibrahim.
