• Paper on FreeTree - tree computation program: It was originally intended for the analysis of results of DNA fingerprinting methods (RFLP, RAPD, AP-PCR) or other methods which provide binary character data (presence/absence of the characters). For such data the program computes the distance matrix, constructs the phylogenetic or phenetic tree and computes bootstrapping or jackknifing values for internal branches of the tree.
• Protein sequence analysis at UCL: Our research concerns protein sequence analysis, primarily exploiting the technique of protein `fingerprinting\' (which uses conserved motifs to characterise particular folds and functionalities). We maintain a database of fingerprints (PRINTS), which complements PROSITE. We aim to improve fingerprint potency, to enhance predictive power in the Twilight Zone. We also design software to display sequence and structural data in visually-striking ways (e.g. using Java).
