DNA Microarray technology is one of the most promising new technologies for global gene expression analysis. This technology is sophisticated, very expensive, highly interdisciplinary and produces vast amounts of data whose management and analysis pose significant challenges. This project aims to study new bi-clustering approaches that […]

The very few quantitative mRNA mistranslation studies carried out to date indicate that the average decoding error ranges from 10-4 to 10-5 errors per codon decoded. However, no systematic study has yet been carried out to rank mRNA sequences according to
decoding error and no methodology has yet […]

UA/IEETA was the Project Coordinator
One goal currently challenging bio – and clinical informatics is to develop robust computational methods and tools to model, store, retrieve and analyse information at multiple levels of complexity, i.e., from molecule to organism. For example, the unification of heterogeneous databases under one virtual system is […]
