Research summary
AI-generated

Don Gilbert develops computational tools and software for genome and gene analysis, including methods for reconstructing genes from RNA sequencing data (EvidentialGene) and measuring genome sizes and assembly accuracy (Gnodes). This work spans a wide range of animals and plants, such as ticks, pigs, catfish, and killifish, and contributes to open scientific data resources in genomics.
