Molecular Bioinformatics Lab (MBL)

Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:23:27 -0600

The main subject of interest in our laboratory is the study of the relationship among sequence, structure, and function in proteins and nucleic acids. Our research can be divided in two major topics:

the study of the sequence-structure relationship
(application -> structure prediction)
the study of the structure-function relationship
(application -> function prediction)

Therefore, anything related to the configuration (sequence) and conformation (structure) in atomic systems of proteins and nucleic acids, and the interaction of these with other elements (function) is of our major interest.

The Graveley Lab

Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:02:48 -0600

Research in the Graveley lab is primarily focused on the regulation of alternative splicing and small RNA mediated gene regulation. These are fascinating and extraordinarily important mechanisms by which genes can be regulated. Our long-term goals are to understand how these processes are regulated at a mechanistic level and to understand the logic of these processes in significant biological settings. To achieve these goals, we strive to think outside the box to creatively attack the problems being addressed using a wide variety of approaches that include biochemistry, genetics, imaging, deep sequencing, large-scale RNAi screening and bioinformatics.

BIGRE Lab

Sun, 17 Nov 2013 10:35:49 -0600

The Laboratoire de Bioinformatique des Génomes et des Réseaux (Genome and Network Bioinformatics) is specialized in the conception, implementation, evaluation and application of bioinformatics approaches for the analysis of genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolism.
Our main activities include

Analysis of regulatory sequences (RSAT project)
Classification and analysis of mobile genetic elements (ACLAME project).
Analysis of molecular interaction networks (NeAT project)
Inference of metabolic pathways from genomic and post-genomic data
(metabolic pathfinding, see also metabolic pathfinding in NeAT)
Critical assesment of protein interactions (CAPRI)

Edwards Lab

Sun, 10 Nov 2013 15:07:08 -0600

We study the evolutionary biology of birds and relatives, combining field, museum and genomics approaches to understand the basis of avian diversity, evolution and behavior. Our guiding approaches include population genetics, which provides a quantitative framework for studying speciation, geographic variation and genome evolution; systematics, which acknowledges that the focal species of any study has relatives that are behaviorally and ecologically no less interesting; and natural history, which gives meaning to the genes and genomic patterns we study.
