Chun I. Yu PhD

Chun I. Yu's research focuses on comparative phenotype analysis and bioinformatics. She develops systems to integrate and analyze phenotypic information in the context of the genetics and genomics data of the laboratory mouse within the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) project. She is the primary developer of the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP), a controlled, structured vocabulary to annotate phenotype data, enabling data integration, analysis, and computational reasoning. Her current research projects include developing ontological relationships among other human and model organism phenotype ontologies and database knowledge systems to develop comparative analysis tools.
