Abstract

We are developing computational techniques to enable a greater understanding of plant genome organisation and evolution and cross-species leverage of genomic information. New techniques in this area have the ability to significantly add value to current and future plant genome sequencing projects. Recently developed and ongoing areas of research include a "global" genetic map estimation tool, based on multivariate statistical techniques, that can also aid in genome assembly validation, and the ComparaGRID computational architecture for semantic web data integration in a comparative genomics setting. New areas of investigation will include the development of probabilistic models and associated algorithms for gene content evolution, for estimation of conserved genomic regions and for the estimation of fine-scale phylogenetic trees.
