CWI develops unique method for genome-reconstruction of mutated viruses
Jasmijn Baaijens, PhD student in CWI’s Life Sciences and Health group, has developed a new computational tool that can reconstruct genomes of mutated versions of viruses like HIV, Zika and Ebola
Mathematical tools reconstruct ancient genetic code
The genetic code of the last universal common ancestor of all present life on earth, appears to be surprisingly advanced. In his PhD thesis, Peter van der Gulik provides mathematical tools to reconstruct this genetic code. He also proposes a new parameter to characterize the genetic code that provides information about the production of amino acids.
