JaeJin Choi
An active PhD student in University of California, Berkeley, since
2019, participate in:
- Comparative Biochemistry graduate program
- Designated Emphasis in Computational and Genomic Biology
My interest in biology and computer science lead me into the field of
bioinformatics/computational biology. Currently focus on development and
application of a sequence comparison based on language analysis (e.g.,
alignment-free approach) that view biological sequences as information
and rely on a choice of descriptors (data) over models.
General field of study
- Bioinformatics
- Computational Biology
Current research interest
- Evolutionary study
- Population genomics
- Data science
