Welcome

Our lab is interested in primarily in structural biology (protein and RNA structure), and to some extent in systems biology. See CLOTE Computational Biology LAB


Current work concerns aspects of RNA secondary and tertiary structure prediction -- motif detection, kinetic traps, k-point mutants, conformational switches, noncoding RNA gene finders, etc. for lab members, publications, web servers, etc.
We hold a Digiteo Foundation Chair of Excellence for collaboration with computer science faculty at Ecole Polytechnique and l'Université Paris-Sud (Orsay) on RNAomics project concerning RNA design and structure. Digiteo Funding supports our research from June 1, 2008 - May 31, 2012. Additional support from the National Science Foundation.
