Bioinformatics Software
A major activity in the Blaxter lab is the development and use of bioinformatics tools to analyse genome sequence data, particularly data relating to comparative, or phylo-, genomics. We have developed new bioinformatic tools for our comparative genomics research, and also use a number of public-domain tools.
