Research Summary

The development of high throughput technologies has given rise to a wealth of information at system level including genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. However, it remains a major challenge to digest the massive amounts of information and use it in an intelligent and comprehensive manner. To address this question, Dr. Fei’s group has focused on developing computational tools and resources to analyze and integrate large scale "omics" datasets", which help researchers to understand how genes work together to comprise functioning cells and organisms..

Active projects in Dr. Fei’s group include:

  • Functional genomic analysis of fruit flavor and nutrition pathways.
  • Large scale genome and cDNA sequencing using 454 technology
  • Development of a cucurbit genomics resource
