Their research e mphasizes the application of statistical and machine learning techniques\, such as hidden Markov models and support vector machines. The team applie s these techniques to various types of biological data\, including protein and DNA sequences\, data from high-throughput genomic assays such as ChIP -seq and Hi-C\, and tandem mass spectrometry. Prof. Noble’s research gro up is currently developing methods for analyzing shotgun proteomics data\, for characterizing protein function\, structure and interactions\, and fo r understanding the structure and regulatory influence of chromatin.\n\nWi lliam Stafford Noble is a Professor in the Department of Genome Sciences a nd in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. He received the Ph.D. in computer science and co gnitive science from University of California\, San Diego in 1998. Dr. Nob le’s research applies statistical and machine learning methods to the an alysis of complex biological data sets. He is the author of more than 350 peer reviewed publications and has advised 39 postdoctoral fellows and 31 PhD students. William is the recipient of the International Society for Co mputational Biology Innovator award\, the US Human Proteome Organization G ilbert S. Omenn Computational Proteomics Award\, and is a Fellow and forme r member of the Board of Directors of the ISCB.\n\n \;\n\nSelected pub lications\n\nJha A\, Hristov B\, Wang X\, Wang S\, Greenleaf WJ\, Kundaje A\, Aiden EL\, Bertero A\, Noble WS.
