BBSI Seminar:

   Topic:

   "Assembling and Annotating Mammalian Genomes"

    Location and Time:

   Engineering Room 103
11:30 AM, Monday, July 28th

Current Work and Research:

   Deanna Church is currently a staff scientist at NCBI. She is the coordinator for the mouse genome resources and Trace Archive at NCBI. She also works with analyzing and displaying genomic data and worked on the development of the NCBI map viewer. She has experience in molecular biology, genetics, genomics and bioinformatics and is currently focusing on making genomic data more useful through large-scale annotation and comparative genomics.
