| - | The primary material analyzed by genome informatics are genomic sequences. Beyond the acquisition and basic analysis of these data, the next challenge is to extract the higher-level information encoded in them, which poses the need for sound mathematical models, efficient algorithms, and user-friendly software. | ||

| - | Research in the Genome Informatics group spans a broad spectrum in this exciting field, from the low level of DNA sequence comparison up to the higher levels of comparative genomics, and making better infrastructures. | ||

| - | {{:ancestor_reconstruction.png?nolink |Acestor-Reconstruction|}}We integrate the concept of conserved gene clusters into the framework of phylogenetics. Here, the focus is not any more on the discovery of new gene clusters, but on their evolution. Given the topology of a phylogenetic tree and the gene orders of the leaf nodes, our methods reconstruct ancestral gene orders at the internal nodes under different evolutionary (rearrangement) models (see [[http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/rococo|Rococo]], [[https://github.com/pedrofeijao/RINGO|RINGO]], [[https://github.com/nluhmann/PhySca|PhySca]]).\\ | ||
| - | In addition, the development of ancient DNA (aDNA) sequencing led us to the problem of integrating this additional data in the reconstruction of ancestral genomes, aiming to scaffold fragmented aDNA assemblies and to improve the global reconstruction of all ancestors in the phylogeny. | ||
