Position
  • Professor
Department
  • Computer Science
Xiaoqiu Huang is a professor in computer science at Iowa State University. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Pennsylvania State University in 1990.

Research
Assembly of DNA fragments into longer sequences, identification of genes in genomic DNA sequences, comparison of genomic DNA sequences.

Xiaoqiu Huang is interested in computational problems in genome sequencing and analysis.

He is the author of a widely used CAP3 assembly program. He and his colleagues have recently developed a whole-genome assembly program named PCAP. PCAP has been used by Washington University Genome Center in chimpanzee and chicken genome projects.
