Researcher biography

Dean Basic is a graduate Computational Biologist who joined the Genome Innovation Hub in 2022 after completing his Masters at the Queensland Brain Institute of the University of Queensland. At the Queensland Brain Institute, he employed Oxford Nanopore long read RNA sequencing to expand the annotation of Mouse pseudogenes and long non-coding RNAs. His interests include all things long-read RNA sequencing, the creation of more accurate biological data annotations and the application of computational approaches for inferring the functional status of novel genetic elements.
