Evolutionary Analysis: RNA, Genetic Variation, and Computational Models

Explore the evolution of RNA and genetic variation through statistical alignment, association mapping, and combinatorics. Develop computational models to study the evolution of cell cycle dynamics, gene genealogies, and hidden structures within genomes. Collaborate with experts in bioinformatics and systems biology to advance our understanding of evolutionary processes.

  2. Unknown ancestral sequences Evolution/Homology: Unknown genealogy Evolutionary model Variation within Species Domain Expansion: Systems and Modeling Themes: Evolution, Variation and Systems

  3. Focus Sequence Evolution & Hidden Structure Hein, Schierup and Wiuf Gene Genealogies, Variation and Evolution Genomes Recombination

  4. Some Projects Theoretical Projects/Methodology Projects (Taylor, Darden,..) The TPS Algorithm & the Evolutionary Path of Protein Structures Evolutionary Docking of Proteins Difficult Concepts in Systems Biology Alternative Splicing: Functionality, Evolution and Selection Collaboration Projects (Kay Davies, Cookson, Peter Simmonds, Iber, Decode) Computational Promoter Analysis of non-Coding RNAs Population Pedigree Inference from Genomic Data Comparative Virus Annotation Parameter and Sensitivity Analysis for Large System of ODEs Systems Biology (Bela Novak, Engineering Systems Biology of the Cell Cycle Evolving Dynamical Systems

  5. Comments +’s: Oxford is clearly great place Extremely good collaborations and connections can be made -’s: We provide ideas, expertise, discussion, criticism, but are not strong on micro-management A very good project & a very good plan for it should be provided The content of a project could be Theoretical/Mathematical/Algorithmic Software engineering Empirical Collaboration Some idea of yours
