  Bioinformatics and computational biology researchers at UCSC discover and implement algorithms that facilitate the understanding of biological processes through the application of statistical and machine learning techniques. Because these methods are often compute-intensive, we strive to create algorithms and heuristics that are computationally efficient on serial and parallel computers. Members of the group study the primary (sequence), secondary (folding), and tertiary (3-dimensional) structures of DNA, RNA, and protein sequences.
