The ITSNAP Associated Team project is dedicated to the computational study of RNA 3D structure and interactions. By developing new molecular hierarchical models for knowledge-based and machine learning techniques, we can provide new insights on the biologically important structural features of RNA and its dynamics. This knowledge of RNA molecules is key in understanding and predicting the function of current and future therapeutic targets.

CARNAGE addresses two main issues on genomic sequences, by combinatorial methods.
Fast development of high throughput technologies has generated a new challenge for computational biology. The recently appeared competing technologies each promise dramatic breakthroughs in both biology and medicine. At the same time the main bottlenecks in applications are the computational analysis of experimental data. The sheer amount of this data as well as the throughput of the experimental dataflow represent a serious challenge to hardware and especially software. We aim at bridging some gaps between the new "next generation"sequencing technologies, and the current state of the art in computational techniques for whole genome comparison. Our focus is on combinatorial analysis for NGS data assembly, interspecies chromosomal comparison, and definition of standard pipelines for routine large scale comparison.
This project also addresses combinatorics of RNA and the prediction of RNA structures, with their possible interactions.

Résumé : The partners have developped complementary expertise on RNA : bioinformatics, combinatorics and algorithms. machine learning, physics and genomics. Methodologies will be developed that combine theoretical simulations and new (high throughput) experimental data. A common high level training at Master and PhD level is organized.
