The field
of bioinformatics is based on studying of interaction between computer
science and biology. Biology in the 21st century is being transformed
from a purely laboratory based science to an information science as well.
The information includes comprehensive global views of DNA sequence, RNA
expression, protein interactions or molecular conformation. The goal of
bioinformatics in computer aided molecular design, modeling of the biological
activities and properties of chemicals and computer analysis of gene and
proteins, has attracted the researchers from many fields including computer
science, engineering, mathematics, physics, neuroscience and cognitive
science.
The main research
interest topics are:
1. PREDICTIVE METHODS
USING DNA SEQUENCING
2. PREDICTIVE METHODS USING PROTEIN SEQUENCING
3. GENE PREDICTION
4. GENOME ANALYSIS
5. VISUALISING PROTEIN STRUCTURES AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES
6. PROBABILISTIC GRAPHICAL MODELS IN BIOINFORMATICS
7. PROBABILISTIC MODELS OF EVOLUTION
