Sheldon McKay
I am a computational biologist, 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.
