Data Scientist, Next-Generation Sequencing, Columbia Genome Center

Xiaoyun Sun is a data scientist at the Columbia Genome Center. She has focused on the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data since joining in 2011. She developed the Genome Center's RNA-seq analysis pipeline, and currently maintains our RNA-seq, exome-seq and whole genome sequencing analysis pipelines. Her research interests also include 

fusion gene detection using RNA-seq and whole genome sequencing data. Previously, as a graduate student in the Brandeis University Computer Science Department, she completed her PhD thesis on biological network reconstruction.
