Coming from the University of California Berkeley, Filipe Vieira has recently joined CIBIO-InBIO to work as part of the new bioinformatics group.

Filipe holds a PhD in comparative genomics, from the University of Barcelona. During his doctoral studies, Filipe focused on the study of the evolution of multigenic families in insects.

Afterwards, he worked as a Postdoc on population genetics/genomics, with a special emphasis on Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. In this scope, Filipe worked mainly on two topics: i) the development of new NGS methods, which will be main focus of this introductory talk; and ii) the study of rice domestication.
