Bioinformatics Core Facility

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
