Sequence Comparison, Korilog

Intensive bank-to-bank comparison with Korilog : this collaborative project between the Korilog company and the GenScale team aims to investigate new research directions in the bank-to-bank sequence comparison problem. Two research axes are followed : constrained exploration of the search space and adaptation of the ORIS algorithm, developed by D. Lavenier for fast DNA comparison, to the protein sequences. It is funded for 3 months (Nov. 2012 - Feb. 2013), including the visit of assistant professor Van-Hoa Nguyen from Vietnam.

KoriPlast: this project is a cooperation between GenScale and the Korilog company, it is funded by Région Bretagne from June 2011 to Nov. 2012. It aims to industrialize the PLAST software prototype, previously developed in GenScale, that performs intensive genomic bank-to-bank comparisons. The commercial version is now called KLAST http://www.korilog.com/index.php/KLAST-high-performance-sequence-similarity-search-tool.html
