In research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers have found early, distinct changes that can determine which at-risk infants will develop the autoimmune disease.

Her most recent work focuses on investigating a specific neuronal cell type that syncs mammals' sleep/wake cycle—known as circadian rhythm—to the sun cycle.

The paper introduces a new algorithm for efficiently building a compacted de Bruijn graph from collections of input genome or transcriptome sequences.

The Advanced Genomic Technologies Core, part of the Brain and Behavior Institute, will advance high-throughput and advanced large-scale genomics research, and will greatly improve the university’s capabilities in neuroscience and other life sciences.

Colwell—still active in research, including multiple international efforts to stem the spread of cholera—talked candidly about the barriers she faced throughout her career as a woman scientist.

The open-source software was described in a paper recently published in the online journal, Frontiers in Microbiology.

The students are part of a 10-week long internship run by faculty in the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

She recently gave the keynote address at a campus forum discussing the health of the Chesapeake Bay.

Building on Colwell's previous research, this new study shows the effects of genetic variations on certain strains.

Being named an ACM Fellow is an elite recognition of outstanding science and scholarship that is bestowed upon less than one percent of the organization’s 100,000-plus members.
