Yongchun Zuo, Ph.D. Principal Investigator of Bioinformatics. He is one bioinformatics professor of state key laboratory of reproductive regulation and breeding of grassland livestock in Inner Mongolia University. Professor Zuo focuses on the computational biology researches, including classification of DNA/Protein sequence, codon optimization of gene and its regulatory sequence, and integration analysis of multi-omics in cell reprogramming. Classification of DNA/Protein sequence involves identification of important regulatory regions, such as enhancers, promoter and specific protein family by combining machine learning methods and expression omics data. The codon optimization of gene and its regulatory sequence mainly aims to design optimization gene sequence for tissue-specific expression or targeted integration based on sequence optimization. For integration analysis of multi-omics, we aim to establish the bioinformatics landscape of mammalian embryogenesis, explore effective biomarker or epigenetic signature of cell reprogramming, and develop better matching learning model for predicting cell fate determination and cell differentiation. Recently, we successfully performed systematic comparisons based on differential co-expression analysis for preimplantation development, and develop the first database for exploring time activation of gene expression in mammalian embryos.
