>This research will involve analyzing large genomic data in 
>understanding the genes that might be involved in studying different 
>systems. This work will be a good exposure to bioinformatics and 
>genomics. Familiarity with Programming would be highly useful, and 
>familiarity with PERL although not a requirement will be beneficial.

>A separate UROP is available for designing a system for studying the 
>effects of forces on tissues in an animal model. Design 
>experience/coursework would be helpful not not necessary.

>Depending on the interest, these UROPs can contain elements of both 
>types of work. Motivation and interest are more important than any 
>specific background for either UROP.
