Expertise

A major effort of my work has been to create a relational database of genomic sequences and associated information. This includes expression information, divergence information, protein function information, and positional information.

This work is in parallel with my ongoing database design work and my interest in rapidly evolving genes in primates.

Gerald Wyckoff's educational background is as a molecular evolutionary geneticist, finding faint signatures of positive selection in a sea of genomic noise.

His recent work has led to the development of software that is being commercialized, and he continues to try and find ways to apply his evolutionary knowledge to the problems inherent in big data drug discovery at the interface between animal and Human health.
