Hi,

I'm JianHua Yang, a bioinformatics researcher at the Sun Yat-sen University. My research interests are in the application of computers and bioinformatics to the biological and medical sciences.

My current interests include the analysis and exploration of deep sequencing data (next-generation sequencing), long non-coding RNAs, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), microRNAs, circRNAs and their targets.

I am the developer of several projects including starBase, ChIPBase, deepBase, StarScan, RMBase and snoSeeker.

I am also the major instructor of SYSU-Software team in iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition that is a worldwide synthetic biology competition aimed at undergraduate university students. Our team won 5 gold medals, 3 Best Software Projects and two special software awards(Best Clotho App and Best Genome Compiler-Based Design) in iGEM competitions.

• starBase is designed for decoding Pan-Cancer and Interaction Networks of lncRNAs, miRNAs, competing endogenous RNAs(ceRNAs), RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and mRNAs from large-scale CLIP-Seq (HITS-CLIP, PAR-CLIP, iCLIP, CLASH), degradome sequencing (Degradome-Seq data and tumor samples (14 cancer types, >6000 samples).
• deepBase a platform for annotating and discovering small and long ncRNAs (microRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs...) from next generation sequencing (deep-sequencing) data.
• StarScan a software for discovering potential sRNA-mediated RNA cleavage events from degradome sequencing data in plants and animals.
• RMBase RMBase is designed for decoding the landscape of RNA modifications identified from high-throughput sequencing datasets.
• snoSeeker snoSeeker includes two snoRNA-searching programs, CDseeker and ACAseeker, specific to the detection of C/D snoRNAs and H/ACA snoRNAs, respectively. snoSeeker has been used to scan human, mouse, chicken, Ciona intestinalis, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenhorhabditis elegans and Arabidopsis thaliana sequences and identified thousuands of snoRNA genes.
• ChIPBase an integrated resource and platform for decoding transcription factor binding maps, the expression profiles (RNA-Seq) and transcriptional regulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs, lincRNAs), microRNAs, other ncRNAs(snoRNAs, tRNAs, snRNAs, etc.) and protein-coding genes from ChIP-Seq data.
