We have moved from Iowa State University (Ames, IA) to Indiana University (Bloomington, IN). Thank you ISU for providing a home for almost 14 years. Part of the group will continue at ISU for now, while new folks will join our efforts at IUB. Collaborations will flourish beyond that with our many valued colleagues and friends in Ames. Onward!

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.
| 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.
