Congrats to Eduardo on his conclusion to his Ph.D. in Computer Science! Eduardo has started his Posdoc in Shirley Liu’s Lab at Dana Farber Institute / Harvard School of Public Health.
From November 2017, the IZKF Research group Bioinformatics will be called “Institute for Computational Genomics”. We will expand our activities in cutting edge research and teaching on computational and genomic methods for understanding complex biological systems. The new institute is …
Our paper on computational detection of footprints from open chromatin data has been selected as one of the top 10 reading papers by the community of Recomb Regulatory Genomics. Check here the selection of papers.
In Kalwa et al, 2016, we have applied for the first time the “Triplex Domain Finder” (TDF) to analyse DNA regions potentially regulated by HOTAIR, i.e. peaks of ChIRP-Seq experiments or regions with DNA methylation changes after siHOTAIR. TDF not …

Andre Camara, who was jointly co-supervised by Prof. Ricardo Prudencio and our group, has successfully completed his Ph.D. degree at the Federal University of Pernambuco. His dissertation proposed a new methodology for prediction of drug-protein interactions by combining multiple information …
Together with the cell biology department, we have investigated changes in histone modifications and binding of the master regulator Pu.1 during dendritic cell differentiation. We have derived a computational approach to detect further co-binding partners of PU.1 uncovering an regulatory …
