Merja Oja, a resercher in our laboratory, is defending
her thesis "Methods for Exploring Genomic Data Sets: Application to Human Endogenous Retroviruses" for the moment. The opponent is Professor
Hiroshi Mamitsuka from University of Kyoto. In Merja Oja's thesis, exploratory data analysis methods have been developed for analyzing genomic data, in particular human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) sequences and gene expression data. HERVs are remains of ancient retrovirus infections and now reside within the human genome. The work has been conducted in Professor Samuel Kaski's group on
Statistical machine learning and bioinformatics.
