J.L. Oliver's personal page

I led a multidisciplinary research team in Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Computational Genomics at the University of Granada, Spain (https://bioinfo2.ugr.es/ceUGR/), until my retirement in 2020. My current research explores the AlphaGenome mark predictions associated with DNA texture and the evolutionary dynamics of genome sequence complexity in a variety of biological systems.
