Computational and Structural Biology


Our group lies at the intersection of computational and structural biology, genomics and plant breeding and stems from the Genetics and Plant Breeding and Plant Biology departments. Our main activities are the development of software and databases for the analysis of genomic and agroclimatic data, as well as structural and evolutionary studies of protein families. We collaborate with research groups from EEAD-CSIC, different universities and CSIC connections Life Hub and BCB. The group is part of the INB/ELIXIR ES node and represents CSIC at partnership Agriculture of Data.   The group maintains a blog, produces teaching materials and is very active in training young researchers and outreach activities.
