The Bioinformatics Core Facility provides access to advanced data analysis tools and supports the IMB researchers at different levels; from basic bioinformatics services to full-scale scientific collaborations:

• Consulting on experimental design of high-throughput projects
• In-house training on bioinformatics tools and databases
• Implementation and customisation of various software tools
• Setup and development of automated data analysis pipelines for common assays
• Data quality assessment, processing, visualisation, interpretation and presentation of results
• Development of novel tools and custom methods for specific analysis tasks
• Data mining of published datasets, correlation and integration of results
• Assistance with the preparation of manuscripts and grant proposals

Some of the bioinformatics tools developed at IMB have been also made available to the research community:

• dupRadar is a tool for RNA-seq PCR duplication rate assessment
• PingPongPro is a tool for discovery of piRNA “ping-pong” signatures
• NGSpipe2go is a set of modular pipelines for NGS data processing and analysis
