Richard K. Wilson's research focuses on genomics and cancer genetics, including studying the genetic and epigenetic basis of cancers such as glioma and familial lung cancer. His work involves techniques like whole exome sequencing (reading the protein-coding regions of DNA) and DNA methylation analysis (studying chemical modifications that affect gene activity), as well as broader efforts in building reference genome assemblies used across biomedical research.
