SNIP It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Scientists searching for the gene or gene combination that affects even one plant or animal characteristic must sort through massive amounts of data, according to a professor of the mathematics and statistics. He leads a bioinformatics research group, which provides the expertise that plant and animal scientists need to uncover how genes and proteins affect cell functions. [...] It's critical to have the statistician and biologist working together," noted plant science professor Fedora Sutton, who worked with Ge on identifying gene interactions that account for freeze resistance in winter wheat. "He is able to say, based on statistical rules and regulations, this is where this has to be."
