Xueyan Sun is a fourth-year doctoral student at Tsinghua University. Her research integrates bioinformatics with molecular biology to investigate transposable elements (TEs) and their epigenetic regulation. She primarily focuses on the regulation of LINE-1 antisense transcription, the functions of non-coding RNAs in development and disease, and the mechanisms of RNA damage and repair. Utilising high-throughput sequencing technologies and computational models, Xueyan explores how transposable elements influence gene regulatory networks and contribute to disease pathogenesis. Through her multidisciplinary approach, which bridges computational genomics, epigenetics, and RNA biology, she aims to decode fundamental principles of genome plasticity and develop novel diagnostic frameworks for genetic disorders.
