Clara joined in 2005 as assistant professor at the Department of Biology, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Since 2011 she was promoted as associate professor. Her main research topics are RNAs as key regulators of the expression of gene mainly associated with innovations in morphology, complex systems and in neurodegeneration. Her lab also works in viromics and comparative genomics of RNA viruses. Keywords<\/strong>: RNAs, comparative genomics<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Molecular docking using AutoDock Vina (8th April)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictiction of the interaction between a protein and a small ligand or inhibitor. It is usually used in drug design projects to find potential inhibitors of a protein target of interest. By Rui Miguel Vaz de Abreu<\/strong>, Polytechnic Institute of Bragan\u00e7a, Portugal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
