With rapidly expanding sources of next generation sequencing data along with the access and availability of new bioinformatics tools, methods and approaches, I want to employ a data mining approach to identify and study the evolution of biomolecules (especially receptors) in various signaling pathways and communication networks, in a range of biological systems, from prokaryotes, to unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes.
