We develop algorithms and statistical models for analyzing large biological datasets. Particularly, we develop scalable algorithms for high-throughput genomic and transcriptomic sequencing data to study problems related to sequence alignment, genome assembly, structural variation detection, and transcriptome analysis. We emphasize applicability of the methods to relevant biological and biomedical questions.
