    If you want to find out why a bouncy octopus is our group logo, you have come to the right place. In fact, there is a lot of other information on these pages. Please navigate using the menus above and to the left.

    For up to date descriptions and download options of our computational genomics software you may want to jump over to our github site. For a quick start to using our software with (almost) no installation effort on your part see our SingularityHub.

    The Brendel Group is an energetic, friendly, and grateful team of faculty, staff, and students enjoying the privilege of working together. Our areas of interest span research topics in genome informatics, in particular as related to plant transcriptional control and pre-mRNA splicing, and computational infrastructure (cyberinfrastructure) for genome studies. You can find out more about our research, software development, and Prof. Brendel's teaching following the links on the top navigation bar.

    Elbert Hubbard The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors, for but one thing. And that is Initiative. What is Initiative? I'll tell you: It is doing the right thing without being told.
    (Opening lines of "Initiave" by Elbert Hubbard)

    Can you carry a message to Garcia?
    I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
    (Sherlock Holmes, in "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
