Introduction

Computational biology is a highly interdisciplinary field of biology, relying on basic principles from computer science, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and statistics.

Bioinformatics, a popular term in this era of large-scale DNA sequencing, is only a subset of computational biology - the part concerned with the storage, organization, curation and annotation of biological data.

Computational biology extends beyond bioinformatics into the realm of sequence analysis: finding genes and ascertaining their function; predicting the structure of proteins and RNA sequences; and determining the evolutionary relationship of proteins and DNA sequences.

The purpose of this website is to outline my research, and provide links to resources and other information related to these fields.
