Research Interests:

  • Information theory based DNA binding site models;
  • Microbial genomic diversity and evolution, comparative genomics;
  • Environmental genomics of bacteria and phages;
  • Evolutionary analysis of genes, proteins or genomes;
  • Z curve based genomic analysis.

Current Research:

  • T7-like promoter models, T7 islands;
  • Evolution of T7-like phages and their transcription systems;
  • Other T7-like promoter bearing regions in microbial genomes;
  • Information theory based models for SD and RNase III recognition sites in the T7 group of phages and their host genomes;
  • Development and refinement of information theory based Fur binding site models, and comparative analysis of different Fur models;
  • Information theory based transcription factor binding site models.

Future Research:

    I am looking for a position to continue my current work. I am strongly interested in:

  • Information theory analysis of T7-like promoter models and RBS models;
  • T7-like promoters in microbial genomes;
  • Function and diversity of T7 islands;
  • Genome sequencing and analysis of T7 group phages;
  • Fur and other transcription factor binding site models.

    • If you are interested, you can look at my CV, and contact me by E-mail: chenze@ncifcrf.gov.
