Brutlag Bioinformatics Group
The Brutlag Bioinformatics Group is located in the Biochemistry Department at Stanford University and is
also affiliated with the Stanford Medical Informatics program in the Stanford Medical School.
The primary goal of our research, like that of bioinformatics in general, is to understand the flow of information from the genome to the phenotype. This goal parallels the central paradigm of molecular biology, but bioinformatics primarily uses methods of computer science and information science. Currently, we are involved with prediction of structure and function from primary sequence. We have developed advanced profile and sequence motifs for representing structural and functional aspects of proteins. These methods can be used for assigning functions to unidentified genomic sequences (Scan, Identify and Genome). They can also be used to extract critical properties of conserved regions (EMOTIF, Profile).
