Prof. Dr. Bernhard Haubold Group leader haubold@evolbio.mpg.de |
I work on fast methods for genome comparison. This 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 Lübeck University and am a coauthor of two textbooks on computational biology.

Dr. Beatriz V Mourato Bioinformatician mourato@evolbio.mpg.de |
I 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 identifying clades of target genomes.

Ben Bahnsen Master Student bahnsen@evolbio.mpg.de |
I am a computer science student at Lübeck University. I’ve just started working on my master’s thesis, which might include expanding the Neighbors REST API and adding remote capabilities to programs of the Neighbors package.
