Mission
The bioinformatics core offers bioinformatics support for all members of
the IRC, including:
- Assistance in the application of bioinformatics tools
- The operation of a help-desk
- The organisation of training sessions for common applications
- The provision of an environment enabling post-docs and graduate students to pursue specific bioinformatics research
Research
The general theme of the BioIT research is prediction of regulation of gene-expression and involves projects on promoter analysis, TFBS predictions, classification of co-regulated genes on the basis of their promoter characteristics and phylogenetic conservation of gene regulatory elements.
