The spectacular advances of the last few years resulted in the rapid analysis of the genome sequence of each individual. The biomedical world is now faced with the enormous challenges of assigning pathogenicity to each genomic variant, the...
The ambition of the Molecular and Computational Biology Research School (MCB) is to create an attractive and stimulating training environment for PhD students in molecular and computational biology, both to better serve the needs for relevant...
Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.
This group interested in modeling genome dynamics in following topics:
---how genetic variation is distributed within and between individuals,
---determining how this diversity changes over evolutionary time.
Hence, Cox group work at the...
On Jan 10 2020, while news of the first fatality was barely trickling in, the 29,903 letters constituting the viral genome from an affected individual in Wuhan had already been elucidated (even though a few corrections were made subsequently).

There are two methods for ancient WGD detection, one is collinearity analysis, and the other is based on the Ks distribution map. Among them, Ks is defined as the average number of synonymous substitutions at each synonymous site, and there is...
