Activity/Platform

Bioinformatics plateform

Presentation

Recently set up at IBPC, the  functional genomics platform puts its know-how at the service of the IBPC units and collaborates with the scientific community.

The functional genomics platform is also equipped with several apparatuses for gel/image processing and analysis, notably a Typhoon FLA9500 (GE), 2 Gel Docs (Biorad) and developer for autoradiograms (Curix), as well as a scintillation counter (Hidex) for processing radioactive samples

The objectives of the platform :

• Advise and train IBPC researchers for routine bioinformatics analyzes.
• Develop new analysis and visualization tools adapted to the latest technologies and users.
• Develop collaborative research projects with the different IBPC teams and research units.
• To bring together the institute's bioinformaticians and pool the many skills and resources in biological data analysis.

Thematic specificities and expertise

• NGS (genomic and transcriptomic), proteomic and quantitative proteomic analyses.
• Sequencing, assembly and annotation of bacterial and eukaryotic genomes.
• Metagenomics and functional annotation.
• Evolutionary biology.
• Visualization and supervised exploration of large collections of biological data.
