Welcome to the website of the Evolutionary Bioinformatics Research Group
We are a research lab in bioinformatics at Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Biology, Department of Genetics, Budapest, Hungary. Our primary research interests include:
- Bioinformatics and computational biology
- Evolutionary genomics and phylogenetics
- Microbial genomics and the evolution of antibiotic resistance
- Development of databases and packages for gene expression analysis and regulation
We created the TFLink transcription factor - target gene interaction database, the BacCurate standardized sequencing-metadata database for ESKAPEE bacterial isolates, and developed the mulea R package, and the treetune packages for bioinformatics analyses.

We are delighted to announce that Eszter Ari, the PI of the EvoBioinfo group, has been awarded the prestigious MTA Bolyai János Research Fellowship.
Eszter Ari presented our work on standardizing sequencing metadata with LLMs at the EMBL Symposium: AI and Biology in Heidelberg, D. Huge credit to Norbert Kada, ELTE MSc student, who did the work, and sincere thanks to Balázs Papp at Synthetic and Systems Biology Unit, Biological Research Centre HUN-REN BRC for the support. The reception was incredibly warm, and it was exciting to see such strong interest to our work and tools.
Eszter also presented our work on standardizing sequencing metadata with LLMs at the Wellcome Connecting Science conference Antimicrobial Resistance – Genomes, Big Data and Emerging Technologies in Hinxton, UK.
