About this Class
Professor Angela Brooks is a leader in the development and application of high-throughput genomic and computational approaches to investigate gene regulation. Her research focuses on characterizing mutations impacting RNA expression in cancer and pioneering methods to analyze alternative splicing using both short- and long-read sequencing technologies. Dr. Brooks has played leadership roles in major consortium efforts, including the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes project, which produced the most comprehensive catalog of RNA alterations across multiple cancer types, and the Long-read RNA-seq Genome Annotation Assessment Project, improving transcriptome annotation through long-read sequencing.
