Abstract

The application of informatics tools to the analysis of biological function is one of the most important requirements for the progress of biological, pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. However, we lack the necessary tools, expertise and resources to analyse multi-factorial measurements of cell and organism function and to exploit genomic and proteomic information. The main aims of the two bioinformatics projects here are (i) to develop new tools for the statistical analysis and display of multiarray single cell electrophysiological recording data from sensory systems in order to establish fundamental principles of neural encoding and (ii) to use a bioinformatics approach using comparative sequence information to investigate evolutionary origins of the development and functions of imprinted genes.
