Powering genomic discovery through computing.
The completion of the human genome project has created an urgent need for advanced computational tools to analyze biological data. Computational molecular biology addresses multiple challenges, ranging from DNA sequence interpretation to protein structure analysis. The field encompasses gene network studies, biological function prediction, and complex cellular computational models.
Cornell University has launched a comprehensive genomics initiative, with the Department of Computer Science playing a central role. Our researchers tackle diverse projects including genetic mapping, advanced sequence analysis, protein structure prediction, and molecular simulation. This work supports Cornell's broader mission to advance genomic science through computational innovation.
