The Bioinformatics Core provides services and expertise to assist investigators in all fields of biomedical data analysis, project planning, and grant preparation.

1. Consultancy [free of charge]
   On short notice users can discuss their research project with a bioinformatics expert in order to identify potential points of interaction. In many cases, suitable web-based solutions are available to solve a given project. We assist the users in finding the appropriate tool and support them when using it. This service may lead to a follow-up of one of the following two:


2. Fee-for-service [funding to be provided]
   In some cases, specific bioinformatics tools or services need to be programmed. Smaller projects can be conducted by staff from the bioinformatics core; for larger projects new staff can be hired and supervised by the Bioinformatics Core in order to full-fill project specific tasks.


3. Scientific cooperation [common publication, funding can be shared]
   We are interested to engage in collaborative projects when these fall within the scope of our research, that is, in particular the genetics and metabolomics of diabetes and its co-morbidities. However, we are always interested in new and interesting challenges.

• Bioinformatics Link Directory
  (we can help you finding and applying the appropriate tools from this directory)
• Ingenuity Pathway Analysis [5 floating licenses]
  (we can conduct Ingenuity Pathway Analysis on your data)
• Access to different supercomputing facility
  (if local computing resources are not sufficient, we can help)

 

• Structural bioinformatics (normal mode analysis, homology modeling, molecular dynamics)
• Protein bioinformatics (multiple sequence alignment, phylogeny, homology search)
• Genome bioinformatics (comparative genomics, genome evolution, sequencing)
• Functional bioinformatics (gene function prediction, protein domains)
• Genetics (SNPs, CNVs, genome-wide association studies)
• Metabolomics (mass spectrometry and NMR based, targeted and non-targeted)
• Systems Biology (network reconstruction, Gaussian graphical modeling)
• Web server development
