Sheldon McKay
I am a computational biologist, based at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's DNA Learning Center on Long Island, NY. I am trained as a geneticist and phylogeneticist and my interests are focused on comparative genomics and evolution. I have used bioinformatics techniques extensively for genome analysis, genome annotation, and comparative genomics. I develop and use scientific software tools for data analysis and visualization. I also do research in genome structure and evolution and have ongoing collaborations with large-scale cross-species RNAi, RNA-Seq and EST-based gene expression analysis. I am active in the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) Project.
I am an open source and data interoperability advocate and contribute to a number of collaborative software development projects. I also do outreach to promote adoption of iPlant and GMOD tools and software, in particular the Generic Synteny Browser (GBrowse_syn), for which I teach at the GMOD summer schools and put on workshops at international conferences, such as the Plant and Animal Genomes meeting and the meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE) meeting and the Workshop on Comparative Genomics, Europe and North America. I am a member of a phylogenetics data interoperability colloboration (evoIO), which recently organized a phyloinformatics "VoCamp" that focused on ontologies and meta-data management for phylogenetics and taxonomy data and also helped organize the GMOD Evolutionary Biology hackathon
