Computational Biology

Research Activity:
The research area was founded in 2005 with the aim of realizing a coordination activity between CNR groups, that work on computational biology. The research area traditionally studies mathematical models and algorithms for the presentation and solution to particular problems from DNA's studies (genomics) and protein studies (proteomics). The principal research themes include: characterization of spatial space and functional of DNA and protein, automatic protein family classification, analysis of genomics sequences, gene expression data analysis from microarrays, code theory and information transmission in DNA. In 2007 the research area found a natural collocation in the Bioinformatics Interdepartmental Project, initiated by CNR under the guide of the ITC Department. In the project, the research area will cover the coordinating role of system models and algorithm research, not only at a molecular level but also at cellular, tissue and organ level.
