TRANSPOSON is a research organization based in San Diego, California, dedicated to advancing our understanding of genomic structural variation through computational methods. Our work focuses on developing novel approaches to detect complex chromosomal rearrangements that may be missed by standard genomic analysis pipelines.
We specialize in analyzing parent-offspring trio data from diverse human populations, with particular emphasis on maintaining data integrity through the use of uncultured DNA samples.
Research Focus
Structural Variant Detection
Developing computational methods to identify complex chromosomal rearrangements in whole genome sequencing data from family trios.
Population Genomics
Studying structural genomic variation across diverse human populations to better understand patterns of inheritance and prevalence.
Data Quality & Methodology
Emphasizing the importance of uncultured DNA samples to avoid genomic artifacts introduced by cell culture processes.
Computational Genomics
Building analysis pipelines and infrastructure for large-scale genomic data processing using cloud computing platforms.
