Abstract
I will give a brief introduction to the Sanger Institute and the major informatics programs here, followed be a more detailed presentation of some of the research in my group. In particular, I will discuss our work on heuristic reconstruction of Ancestral Recombination Graphs (ARGs) from genotype or resequencing data. ARGs describe completely how the genome sequences of individuals might be related: we have been exploring how to use them in disease association studies and reconstruction of full genome sequences from partial whole genome shotgun data from multiple yeast strains.
