In our series of Quick Q&As with scientists who work in the NLM’s National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), we’re pleased to introduce the Algorithmic Methods in Computational and Systems Biology group. This team works in three basic areas: cancer and diseases, gene regulation, and algorithms for efficient utilization of large data sets. “This is…

We were curious. What is going on in Ivan Ovcharenko’s group in NCBI’s Computational Biology Branch? On the sixth floor of NLM’s Lister Hill Center, Dr. Ivan Ovcharenko and his team are deciphering what he calls the “second language” of the human genome. He explains, “The primary language of genomes—which represents the genetic code of…

We ask. They tell. From what motivates them to who inspires them to what the heck they’d be doing if they weren’t here, this team of 12 scientists shares a bit about themselves in today’s “Quick Q&A” feature. Led by Dr. Zhiyong Lu at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), this team does text-mining…

In Quick Q&A, NLM staff share a bit about why they’re motivated and inspired. We also ask them to add something surprising about themselves. For our third Quick Q&A, we reached three scientists in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) who work in the Statistical Computational Biology Group. Meet John Spouge, Mileidy Gonzalez, and…

In Quick Q&A, NLM staff share a bit about why they’re motivated and inspired. We also ask them to add something surprising about themselves. For our second Quick Q&A, we reached four scientists in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) who work in the Computational Biophysics group. Meet Anna Panchenko and her team: Alexander…
