Rayan Chikhi Email & Phone Number

I am a researcher in bioinformatics. In non-technical terms, my work consists in analyzing genomes using computers. We can read the DNA of humans, plants, animals, using sequencing instruments. This has transformed biology in the last decade, e.g. to identify mutations in genes, including those that are linked to diseases, to study evolution, and so much more. We would like to have a complete and precise understanding of genomes, but this is not straightforward: sequencing data is challenging to process. So, people like me develop methods to do the analysis.In technical terms, my interests range from fundamental data structures and algorithms, to their implementation and execution in the context of DNA and RNA sequencing.Recently, I contributed to the assembly of the giraffe genome and the gorilla Y-chromosome.This LinkedIn page is unlikely to be up to date.

Listed skills include Dna, C++, Data Analysis, Programming, and 13 others.
