About the Iyer Lab

http://iyerlab.org/ Dr. Vishy Iyer, PI	Image Modified
Main focus is functional genomics large-scale transciptional reprogramming in response to diverse stimuli Encode consortium collaborator work in human and yeast

 

Research methods include microarrays (Dr. Iyer was co-inventor)	Image Modified
high-throughput sequencing (since 2007) especially ChIP-seq also RNA-seq, RIP-seq, MNase-seq ... we now have > 1,800 NGS datasets	Image Modified

Communication

Green post-it – I'm good at the moment.

Diverse skill set requirements

Analysis – making sense of raw data one part bioinformatics and statistics one part scripting / programming Linux command line High Performance Computing (TACC) bash scripting (grep, awk, sed) R, python, perl Management – making order out of chaos one part organization one part data wrangling Adoption of best practices is critical!
