Researcher continues work to decode genome sequences

In the future, hospitals and clinics may be able to better manage diseases by pinpointing exactly how an individual’s body will respond to treatment. But first, they need a fast, efficient and secure way to analyze DNA, or human genome sequences. Enter Praveen Rao, an associate professor with joint appointments in Health Management & Informatics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Rao has spent the past two years developing a software system for others to analyze and compare genomes more easily. Now, he has a two-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to expand upon that…
