Research and Interests

Multiple comparisons of biological sequences, has the advantage of precisely revealing evolutionary traces, thus allowing the identification of functional constraints imposed on the evolution of biological entities. Dr. Notredams’s group extends the scope of multiple comparisons, predominantly based on sequence similarity, by developing novel tools based on several biological signals such as sequence homology, structural similarity, genomic structure, functional similarity and more generally any signal that may be identified within biological sequences.
