Bioinformatics and Biostatistics

The accelerating scale and complexity of population biology datasets necessitate the development of sophisticated tools for analysis, visualization, and data management. The critical evaluation and advancement of these computational frameworks is a primary focus of Emory's Population Biology, Ecology, and Evolution program faculty.

Research in the domains of bioinformatics and biostatistics addresses a broad spectrum of challenges, including the design of refined genetic mapping methods for genome-wide association and family-based linkage studies. Additionally, faculty develop robust software architectures for large-scale genomic analysis and implement web services designed to optimize the speed and accuracy of genome annotation.
