Subject: Efficient algorithms for RNA secondary structure alignment.
Funding: Dgar (Ecole Polytechnique)
R. Giegerich visited the Amib project-team for a
month. He taught dynamic-programming to the students of the Bibs master.
He initiated a collaboration on sparsification, an algorithmic technique that speeds up dynamic programming algorithm.
A comprehensive review on RNA structure alignment algorithms, to appear in a forthcoming book, was also written during his stay.
J. Waldispühl
Institution: McGill University (Canada)
Subject: RNA design and tertiary structure prediction.
Funding: Digiteo (Lri )
J. Waldispühl visited Amib for a month. He finalized a collaboration on RNA design (Y. Ponty, leading to [16] ),
established a new collaborative research (with A. Denise and Y. Ponty, on tertiary motifs), laid the foundations of a future X-UPSud exchange program, initiated a workshop on molecular interactions (with J. Bernauer), and started a PhD co-supervision (A. Soulé, co-supervised with J.-M. Steyaert and Y. Ponty).
