The Drummond Lab Blog: Computational Biology and Evolution
I’d like to be the first to welcome Alexei Drummond’s research group to the world blogging arena. Their new blog, Computational Biology and Evolution, proposes to be “a heady mix of computational science, evolutionary biology and other things that matter”.
Alexei’s interests are:
- Statistical models and algorithms for understanding biomolecular sequence evolution, structure and function
- Genomic sequence analysis
- Coalescent-based population genetics
- Virus evolution
- Evolutionary theory, complexity theory and their intersection
- Bioinformatics software
He has also been behind some of the shiniest new bioinformatics software out there (e.g. BEAST and Geneious) and has a good line-up of students working on interesting problems, so this is definitely a blog to watch.
