Research project

Detecting hidden variation in our genome

Novel algorithms to detect indels and structural variants from next- and third-generation sequencing data.

Funding

NWO Veni 2011

Partners

LUMC

Current technology can only find small and simple genetic differences between people, not large and complex ones. These variants can help us understand yet unexplained diseases. The researchers will develop software to detect those large and complex variants.
