2. Development of New Methods for Inferring and Evaluating Phylogenetic Trees
Abstract : Inferring phylogeny is a difficult computational problem. Heuristics are necessary to minimize the time spent evaluating non optimal trees. In paper I, we developed an approach for heuristic searching, using a genetic algorithm. Genetic algorithms mimic the natural selections ability to solve complex problems. READ MORE

3. A Genetic Survey of the Pathogenic Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi
Abstract : Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas´ disease, is an evolutionarily ancient species with distinct biological and immunological characteristics. A fundamental understanding of the basic biology of the parasite is necessary in order to develop reliable therapeutic and prophylactic agents against T. cruzi. We have, as a part of the T. READ MORE

4. Gene finding in Populus- The Bioinformatics of a EST program
Abstract : During the course of the work described in this thesis, ESTsequencing project was initiated in woody plant poplar forlarge scale gene discovery in a tree specie. Since most of thetree genomes are considerably large in size, EST sequencing wasconsidered to be a cost effective method for gene discovery. READ MORE
