Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWon Yim is an associate professor and bioinformatician with 14 years of experience bridging wet-lab molecular genetics and computational genomics. Trained in plant genetics (Ph.D., Dongguk University), he has led RNA-Seq, genome assembly and annotation projects—most notably a high-quality assembly of the common ice plant—and developed web-based databases and analysis platforms to support comparative genomics. His technical toolkit spans Linux and Grid computing plus Perl, R, Python, and Bash, and he has applied these skills to decipher CAM pathway evolution across multiple species. With a track record of publications and collaborative work in the CAM Biodesign project, he combines deep domain knowledge with practical software and pipeline engineering. Colleagues rely on him for both experimental design and scalable bioinformatics solutions that turn large sequencing datasets into evolutionary and functional insights.
