Bioinformatics

Modern high throughput technologies have changed the way many experiments are designed and interpreted. Understanding the technologies is paramount in the design of effective experimental strategies. When high-throughput raw data are generated, specialist analytical techniques must be applied to produce valid results for subsequent biological interpretation.

UCD Conway Institute provides the opportunity for 'wet-lab' biologists to interact with bioinformaticians at various points along the pathway from an experimental idea to final publication.

Expertise & Service:

Bioinformatics support is available in the Genomics Core facility. We have a wealth of experience in many facets of data handling for genomics and transcriptomics, extending to over 20 years of DNA sequencing and analysis. Genomics Core facility analysis is provided in the following areas:

• mRNA seq
• ChIP seq
• Prokaryotic genome sequencing
• Affymetrix gene expression arrays

Quality control and primary analysis of the data is provided for all projects. Custom analysis including functional mapping and pathway analysis are also available.
