Welcome to the "Computational Methods for Paleogenomics and Comparative Genomics" group of
Cedric Chauve,
Department of Mathematics
at
Simon Fraser University.
The research of our group focuses currently on various problems in computational biology, with a strong focus on
comparative genomics and cancer genomics.
We are working on various problems related to phylogenomics (the construction and analysis of
gene families and gene trees), genome rearrangements and the reconstruction of ancestral gene orders,
pathogen genomics and cancer genomics.
See our
Research page for more details.
