RESEARCH TOPICS
Summary
Research in the Genome Bioinformatics Research Laboratory within the Grup de Recerca en Informàtica Biomèdica at the Institut Municipal d'Investigació Mèdica (IMIM), focuses in 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.
