Compbio research objective:
Bioinformatics is the study of biological systems through the use of computational tools and the application of methods from computer science, mathematics, and information theory. At Argonne, our goal is to develop new methods and technologies for acquiring, organizing, analyzing, and visualizing such data.

We apply these methods and technologies in two principal areas: sequence and comparative analysis, phylogenetic and evolutionary studies; systems-centered biology and statistical genomics.


Examples of Compbio projects:

Terragenomics : The Argonne Pilot Project for a Comprehensive National Soil Metagenomics Project
caBIG : cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid
MG-Rast : Metagenomics RAST Server
PathoGene: Systems and Tools for Infectious Disease Research
RAST : Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology
A Database of prokaryotic : Sentra
Target : Target Database
