Gos Micklem is a computational biologist at the University of Cambridge, specializing in genomics and molecular biology. His research focuses on understanding the structure, function, and evolution of genomes through computational approaches. He has contributed to major genome projects, including the human genome sequencing, the modENCODE project for C. elegans and Drosophila, and the analysis of coral dinoflagellate symbionts. His work explores regulatory circuits, gene expression, and the role of horizontal gene transfer in genome evolution. Micklem has also developed bioinformatics tools such as FlyMine, YeastMine, and InterMine to integrate and analyze genomic data. His research bridges computational methods with biological insights to uncover the mechanisms underlying genetic diseases and evolutionary adaptations.
