Our research focuses in the computational analysis of genomic sequences on eukaryotic genomes, both at nucleotide and amino acid levels. We are interested in signals that define functional regions, such as splice sites, promoters, and so on, as well as in developing software to integrate data from different sources, for instance high-throughput evidences from the “omics” fields (basically genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics), to pinpoint functional candidates at sequence level for experimental follow-ups.

Planarian are emerging as a model organism, although it's genome is less known than the standard model organisms. We are contributing with our expertise and computational tools to assist the planarian research community in this endeavour.
