We are a bioinformatics research group affiliated with INRIA Lille - Nord Europe and Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille (LIFL, Université Lille 1, CNRS).
The main goal of our research is to define combinatorial models and efficient algorithms for large-scale sequence analysis in molecular biology. This includes genome annotation, comparative genomics, Next Generation Sequencing, metagenomics, noncoding RNAs, genome rearrangements, non ribosomal peptides.
See our software server, our Inria activity report and the list of publications.
