Prof. Dr. Bernhard Haubold
Group leader

haubold@evolbio.mpg.de

I work on fast methods for genome comparison. My work involves a fair amount of programming, which I do in the literate programming idiom, where a program is addressed primarly to a human reader rather than to a machine. I also teach at the University of Lübeck and am a coauthor of two textbooks on computational biology.



Dr. Beatriz V Mourato
Bioinformatician

I recently finished my PhD on the applications of fast methods of genome comparison to find unique genomic regions. I am now exploring how to improve methods for finding samples of targets and neighbor (closest distinct relatives) genomes.



Ivan Tsers
Doctoral researcher

I am a doctoral researcher in the group. Currently I’m working on possible applications of unique genomic regions as taxonomically informative markers.
