EditWe develop mathematical, statistical and computational techniques to reveal information present in genome data, to draw inferences about the processes that gave rise to that data and to make predictions about the biology of the systems whose components are encoded in those genomes.
Our three main research activities are: developing new evolutionary models and methods; providing these methods to other scientists via stand-alone software and web services; and applying such techniques to tackle biological questions of interest. We participate in comparative genomic studies, both independently and in collaboration with others, including the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. This vast source of new data promises great gains in understanding genomes and brings with it many new challenges.

We were one of the teams that created the modern field of “DNA-storage”, the use of DNA to archive digital information. Click here to find out more about our work on this topic.
