Keywords: Statistical analysis of genetic data and expression data; meta-analysis of expression arrays

Current lines of investigation
  • Integration of high-throughput expression and sequence data into the Oncology workstation (CTMM project with Harry Groen).  
  • Factor analytic modeling of expression data and EQTL mapping (with Lude Franke and Rudolf Fehrmann).
  • Expression in winter depression (with Fokko Bosker)
  • Sensitivity and specificity of resequencing for mutation detection. Analysis of resequencing data in Nasonia (with Bert Pannebakker).
  • Analysis of expression through resequencing in Nasonia (with Rinaldo Bertossa).
  • Evaluation of a phase-less haplotype sharing test for genetic association (with Andre de Vries).
  • Whole-genome association study into asthma (with Dirkje Postma and Gerard Koppelman).
