Editing UCPH Bioinformatics Centre (section)

==Organisation==
There are four different subgroups in the center, each focussing on different topics:

* Micro-RNA group: [[micro-RNA]]'s are small RNA molecules with important roles in regulation of [[gene expression]]. The group analyses the biology of micro-RNA's using computational methods and develop tools that are useful for experimental biologists.
* Non-coding RNA group: Many RNA molecules play a functional role in the cell that is different from the classic role of serving as a template for [[protein synthesis]]. The group works on secondary structure prediction and multiple alignment of [[non-coding RNA]]'s.
* Promotor analysis group: The group develops statistical and bioinformatics methods to analyze the regulation of [[Transcription (genetics)|transcription]] of [[eukaryote|eukaryotic]] [[gene]]s. This includes modelling of [[epigenetics]], [[transcription factor]] binding sites, core promoters and transcription start sites
* Structure group: the group develops [[protein]] and [[RNA]] 3-D structure prediction methods based on [[graphical model]]s and [[Bayesian network]]s, [[directional statistics]] and [[Markov chain Monte Carlo]] methods. The group is also a leading area of research into probabilistic programming methods for protein structure prediction.
