Investigation of sequence patterns in the genome responsible for functionality
Research in our group focuses on the investigation of the signals involved in gene specification in genomic sequences (promoter elements, splice sites, translation initiation sites, ...). We are interested both in the mechanism of their recognition and processing, and in their evolution. In addition, but related to this basic component of our research, our group is also involved in the development of software for gene prediction and annotation in genomic sequences. Some of our current projects are:
gff2ps shirts in a group meeting
Eukaryotic SECIS element consensus sequence
Encode project: characterization of the entire human genome by various high-throughput experimental and computational techniques
preferential positioning of nucleosomes on exonic DNA
ENCODE - RGASP
