Abstract: Alignment of gene sequences、Mining and functional analysis are the most basic scientific problems in computational biology。This report focuses on these three aspects to introduce some of the speaker’s achievements in recent years。In terms of sequence alignment，Introducing a multi-sequence alignment and evolutionary tree construction algorithm based on suffix trees and parallel acceleration；In gene mining，Introducing some of my work in microRNA identification in recent years，The main contribution is to explore high-quality counterexample data and design a new ensemble classifier；In gene function analysis，Introducing the work of gene-disease association analysis and gene-crop yield association analysis respectively。
