A review of computational techniques for non-coding RNA discovery.
An overview of ncRNA prediction using sequencing, finding disease related ncRNAs and ncRNAs in bacteria and viruses. Published in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: RNA in August 2012.

Predicting novel microRNAs.
We showed how integrating predicted RNA structures that lie adjacent to, but not overlapping, Expressed Sequence Tags regions is a technique for finding new microRNAs. PLoS One, June 2011.

Identifying gene families as stem cell markers.
An analysis of StemBase, a database of stem cell associated microarray data, revealed gene families containing members with possible functions in mammalian stem cells. Genome Biology, September 2007.
