The group has a general focus on animal genomics including non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), structure and interactions, CRISPR and analysis of high-throughput sequencing data. ncRNAs are rapidly becoming a central focus of genomic biology and given only ~1% of the (~3 billion base) mammalian genome encodes proteins, the potential for the genome to host many ncRNAs is large.
In our group we develop new computational methods (computational biology) as well as setting up pipelines for genome annotation (bioinformatics). We relate these findings to diseases and other phenotypes. We are addressing animal models for human disease, and we are studying bacteria used in industrial contexts as cell factories, with the aim to understand production yield.
