I am leading the gene-based analysis of the comparative genomics team of the Ensembl project (aka Ensembl Compara). Ensembl is a genomics resource that provides high quality and up-to-date annotation for chordate genomes. The Compara team focuses on comparative genomics analyses at both gene and genomic levels.

Particularly, we are developing and maintaining the following resources: protein and ncRNA phylogenetic trees, protein families, on top of our production system (Ensembl Hive). Our pipelines are also used by other groups, such as Ensembl Genomes, TreeFam, Gramene, WormBase.
