Research Interests and Accomplishments
Jason Rafe Miller is responsible for software research and development on whole-genome shotgun assembly. He manages a team of highly specialized software engineers dedicated to enhancing information extraction from DNA sequencing reads. He is working with Dr. Granger Sutton to explore new avenues of assembly research.
In the past, he contributed to assembly infrastructure development at TIGR, genome comparison and annotation software at Celera, and annotation visualization software at GlaxoSmithKline and SmithKline Beecham. Mr. Miller received his Master’s degree from University of Pennsylvania and his Bachelor’s degree from New York University.
