SEQUOIA - Bioinformatics Research Group
We are a bioinformatics group at the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille affiliated with Lille 1 University, CNRS and INRIA Lille - Nord Europe.
The main goal of our research is to define combinatorial models and efficient algorithms for large-scale sequence analysis in molecular biology. An emphasis is made on the annotation of non-coding regions in genomes -- RNA genes and regulatory sequences -- via comparative genomics methods. We are also interested in protein sequence analysis.
See our software server, our activity report and the list of publications.
