BIOINFORMATICS 

 

  • We owned and protected High Performance Computing (HPC) hardware for computationally expensive tasks
    • No security / data protection issues with third party cloud computing providers.
    • Scalable through integration of additional HPC hardware from other centers within the institute (institute wide HPC cluster planned)
  • Reproducible and fully transparent code development and pipeline execution
    • Code sharing through private code repository (gitlab) upon request.
  • Professional project management
  • Highly trained and experienced staff with proven scientific track record

 

(Multi-) OMICS data analysis

 

  • Consulting for study design
    • Sample size calculation
    • Definition of experimental layout
    • Statistical analysis plan
  • Pipelines available for most omics data types and research questions
    • NGS – read mapping, QC, preprocessing, also for WGBS and RRBS
    • Variant and / or DMR calling
    • EPIC data analysis
    • RRBS analysis
    • RNAseq
    • ChIPseq / ATACseq (developed on demand)
