Colin is a Computer Engineering BS student who has recently started as the KAABiL HPC System Administrator. He will help to ensure that the high-performance computer cluster at the KAABiL lab works properly. He also helps maintain the website and helps install the software you can use on the HPC. If you are experiencing any problems with the site or the HPC, let him know.

Student researcher Kolton Hauck is mentored by Rakesh Kaundal, assistant professor of bioinformatics in the PSC department, and investigates protein-protein interactions (PPIs) that are necessary for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to gain access to host cells, replicate and proliferate.

Oryza sativa, commonly known as rice, is a widely studied model organism in plant biology. Understanding the subcellular localization of proteins within rice cells is crucial for unraveling their functions and deciphering complex cellular processes. Subcellular localization provides valuable insights into protein trafficking, interactions, and regulatory mechanisms, ultimately aiding in the identification of potential targets for agricultural and biotechnological applications.

The AtSubP-2.0 model utilizes a multi-layered architecture with a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). It takes protein sequence inputs and generates predictions for localization to various cellular compartments, including the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, peroxisomes, and vacuoles.
