Bioinformatics @ MPI-AGE: understanding biology from single molecules to networks.

Bioinformatics

As Bioinformaticians, our mission is to make sense of biological data. We are active in several research areas of Bioinformatics. These include detection of remote sequence similarity, the interpretation of next-generation sequencing data, as well as interpreting large datasets using methods from network analysis. [more...]
