Evolution of cis-regulatory elements may drive the majority of anatomical evolution, yet the mechanisms of cis-regulation of gene expression are poorly understood. Cory has uncovered a number of interesting non-coding genomic regions within vertebrates using the computational tools of high-performance computing, statistics, and natural language processing. He is also investigating roles for machine learning in the discovery of a genomic signature of cis-regulatory elements. Transgenic experiments performed in collaboration with the Kingsley laboratory will help to elucidate the roles of these elements in vertebrate evolution. |
