We analyze large genomic datasets to understand the patterns of evolution and the processes driving these patterns. To answer questions related to this, we use computational approaches to obtain new insights.
How does the accumulation of genetic changes along the genome affect the phenotype? What is the role of changes in gene expression and the regulatory program in evolution? When during evolution did various novelties arise and diversify? Evolution of RNA modifications (like splicing and editing) provide interesting new insights about the genotype-phenotype link. We are very interested in pursuing such questions computationally, including generating new datasets.
In addition to this, we are focused on exploring new strategies and tools to analyze large-scale datasets (not necessarily genomic).
