Abstract

The decoding of the genome of humans and of other organisms opened a unique opportunity for understanding genome function, structure and evolution. However, the enormous volume of information contained in the genome created new challenges and questions whose resolution requires new mathematical models and bioinformatics tools able to deal with large volumes of information. In here, we describe a software application based on mathematical, statistical and visual models, which offers a set of tools for genetic information processing and analysis.
