Bioinformatics staff members are responsible for installing and mantaining a comprehensive infrastructure for bioinformatics data analysis, data model, data simulation, and data prediction, built up at CASPUR to strongly support experimental biologists for data validation and formulation of new research hypoteses.
The group has grown through the development of bioinformatics databases, web servers, web services and high-performance web tools for DNA and protein alignments.
We also provide support to solve grand-challenge bioinformatics projects and implement new algorithm for bioinformatics (e.g. algorithm for pattern searching).
| RESEARCH ACTIVITIES | THE PLATFORM |
|---|---|
|
In biomedical and bioinformatics research area there are agreements with several Institutions located in central and southern Italy. Since 2001 CASPUR has been collaborating with the national Universities on several projects in the areas: |
A bioinformatics platform has been established to provide hardware architectures optimized for high-performance and high-throughput data-mining tools. The platform offers several type of free web tools and databases developed at CASPUR:
Furthermore our centre provides assistance and custom programming to special bioinformatics projects. |
