- Investigating novel "unmapped" insertions from structural variant callers and their role in DNA damage repair pathways- Analyzed features of germline and somatic structural variants and used these features to construct an SVM that can separate SVs with an AUC of 0.989- Developing an R package that builds upon existing frameworks of structural variant signatures. This package will allow for the extraction and analysis of structural variants as continuous random variables rather than a multinomial distribution of SV types
