Desmond Gerard Higgins is a Professor of Bioinformatics at University College Dublin,[3][12][13][14] widely known for CLUSTAL,[15] a series of computer programs for performing multiple sequence alignment. According to Nature, Higgins' papers describing CLUSTAL[10][11] are among the top ten most highly cited scientific papers of all time.[16][17][18]
