Yosuke Tanigawa is a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Computational Biology Lab (PI: Dr. Manolis Kellis). His research interests are in various topics in population genomics, specifically focusing on the analysis of large-scale datasets.
He completed his doctoral training at Stanford University (Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics), where he worked with Dr. Manuel Rivas and Dr. Gill Bejerano.
Please check CV, Publications, and/or Google Scholar profile for list of publications and pre-prints. Please also check Resources page for datasets, analysis and visualization scripts, and web applications from our research activities (mainly from the Rivas lab and the Bejerano lab).
Research interests
- Application of statistical genetics for human disease genetic studies. I am specifically interested in the analysis of population biobanks.
- Statistical and computational method development for large-scale datasets in the context of human genomic studies.
- Functional analysis of non-coding regions in the human genome. I am specifically interested in the analysis of transcription factors.
Blog posts
I write blog posts mostly on computing tips, including:
- GWAS and genetic analyses with PLINK2 and pgenlibr
- Notes on Apache Columnar format
- Working with very small values in R
- Commonly used commands in high performance cluster computing with Slurm workload manager
