We are a bioinformatics research group at the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille (LIFL) affiliated with Université Lille 1, 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. This includes genome annotation, comparative genomics, Next Generation Sequencing, noncoding RNAs, genome rearrangements, non ribosomal peptides, high performance computing.
See our software server, our activity report and the list of publications.
