By transforming massive sequencing datasets into biological knowledge, we seek to advance our understanding of genome structure, evolution, diversity, and disease. Our work supports a wide range of applications, from biodiversity monitoring and forest genomics to precision medicine and the development of ancestry-aware genomic technologies. Through both methodological innovation and collaborative research, we aim to expand the capabilities of modern genomics and make advanced genomic analyses accessible to the broader scientific community.

The lab's current flagship research program (2025–2030) is supported through a [CIHR-funded project](https://webapps.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/decisions/p/project_details.html?applId=524284&lang=en) focused on sequence-based ancestry inference, large-scale multi-genome synteny detection, and interactive visualization technologies for precision medicine applications. Le principal programme de recherche actuel du laboratoire (2025–2030) est soutenu par un [projet financé par les IRSC](https://webapps.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/decisions/p/project_details.html?applId=524284&lang=fr) portant sur l’inférence de l’ascendance génomique à partir des données de séquençage, la détection de synténie à grande échelle entre de multiples génomes et le développement d’outils de visualisation interactive pour la médecine de précision.

Bioinformatics is a *big data* science. With the continual improvements in high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing, scalable algorithms and data structures are essential to underpin the bioinformatics tools needed to analyze this immense data. To support and facilitate the development of these bioinformatics tools, we develop advanced, efficient data structures, [common code libraries](https://github.com/birollab/btllib) and algorithms for storing, hashing and processing ‘omics data.
