Bhaven is developing a bioinformatic pipeline to map insertions of retroviral mutagens in an unbiased and genome-wide manner in human cells. These techniques can be applied to analyzing data from genome-wide screens using insertional mutagenesis and also to map insertion sites of pathogenic viruses in tissues.

Poster presented at the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Symposium on August 27, 2014:
