Research:
Bioinformatics, Molecular Evolution, Data Integration using Web 2.0, Scientific Social Communities
My research interests focus on bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular evolution, comparative evolutionary genomics and data integration using Web 2.0; in particular, I am very interested in evolutionary process and selective pressures on genomes, genes and even individual sites. Why proteins evolve at different rates and what influences protein evolution?
