Statistical bioinformatics for genomic research

新的基因组技术正在使生物学研究发生革命性变化。RNA-seq是最近开发的高通量测序技术，为科学家提供了比任何早期技术更详细的基因调控和表达的细节。Gordon Smyth教授开发的新工具使研究人员能够使用RNA-Seq技术更准确地确定哪些基因在癌症发展过程中以及对癌症治疗的反应中真正发生了变化。

New genomic technologies are revolutionizing biological research. RNA-seq is a recently developed high-throughput sequencing technology that provides scientists with much more detail how genes are regulated and expressed than any earlier technology. New tools developed by Professor Gordon Smyth are allowing researchers to use RNA-Seq technology to more accurately determine which genes are genuinely changing in the development of cancers and in response to cancer treatments.
