Bobbie-Jo Webb-Robertson
Expertise
Dr. Webb-Robertson's research interests includes the development of statistical inference models, largely Bayesian, with application to bioinformatics problems such as the analysis of protein structure and function, gene expression, and mutational properties of biological sequence data. Previous work includes the development of a novel algorithm that models sequence alignment as a Bayesian inference problem, Bayesian Algorithm for Local Sequence Alignment (BALSA), with application to protein homolog search and sequence reduction in search of regulatory regions of genes.
