Classifying archaic ancestry in human genomes using machine learning models

Priya Moorjani - Professor, Center for Computational Biology, Molecular and Cell Biology

Status: Check back for status     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Our lab studies human evolutionary genetics using genomic data from present-day and ancient DNA samples. We aim to understand how different populations relate to each other and what are some of the genes related to human adaptation and diseases. To this end, we develop computational and statistical methods and...

Investigate demographic changes in human evolutionary history through genetic analysis

Priya Moorjani - Professor, Center for Computational Biology, Molecular and Cell Biology

Status: Check back for status     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Unraveling the first migrations of humans out of Africa has invoked great interest among researchers from a wide range of disciplines. With the advent of genome-wide DNA sequencing techniques and an increase in the availability of ancient samples, genetics offers important tools for testing different hypothesis related to human...
