LEADERSHIP IN LARGE-SCALE GENOME PROJECTS

The Yandell Lab has contributed to some of genomics’ most ambitious efforts, including the Human Genome Project. Today, we lead programs at the Eccles Institute and the Utah Genome Project, building shared platforms that connect data, people, and discovery.

DR. Mark Yandell

Mark Yandell, PhD, is an internationally recognized leader in computational genomics whose lab develops powerful tools for genome annotation and disease-gene discovery, driving collaborations that span plants, animals, and human health.

Our PUBLICATIONS

Peer-reviewed studies in genomics, evolution, and software—fueling progress across disciplines.

Our Software

Purpose-built tools for genomic discovery—shaping diagnostics, research, and large-scale analysis.

Research

The Yandell Lab develops tools and methods in genome annotation, comparative genomics, and high-throughput imaging to reveal how genes function, evolve, and influence disease.

People

The Yandell Lab brings together scientists, software developers, and students to advance discovery at the intersection of computational biology and molecular genetics.
