Computational Biology
Welcome
The UEA Computational Biology Laboratory was established in 2004, and is housed within the D'Arcy Thompson Centre (DArT). Physically located in between the Schools of Computing and Biological Sciences, DArT promotes an integrative philosophy to computational biology, with areas of research spanning the biological hierarchy from genome through to ecosystem.
In addition to carrying out high quality research with national and international partners, DArT aims to develop computational biology across the Norwich Research Park (NRP). NRP represents Europe's largest and most successful single site concentration of research and development in the areas of plants, food, diet & health, the environment, and information systems. Members of DArT collaborate closely with scientists from NRP institutions such as the School of Biological Sciences, the School of Environmental Sciences, the John Innes Centre, the Institute of Food Research and the Sainsbury Laboratory.
DArT provides an interdisciplinary environment for research and education, with speciality in the computational and mathematical sciences. Areas of research include protein structure, computational biology of RNA, phylogenetics, models of biological development, and computational systems biology.
General enquiries concerning DArT should be directed to Professor Vincent Moulton.

For unrooted binary trees, there are three well-known tree rearrangement operations: nearest-neighbor interchange (NNI), subtree prune-and-regraft (SPR) and tree bisection-and-reconnection (TBR). In this talk, I am interested in the size of the unit-neighborhood of a tree T for a given operation, i.e., the number of the trees that can be obtained from T by performing exactly one such operation.
