Genetics-Genomics Informatics

Informatics faculty and staff support in excess of 40 projects/year that utilize a variety of high-dimensional genomic datasets. Most of these projects are published in high-impact journals. The following are examples of complex bioinformatics services/analyses provided by CHIBI experts:

Microarray Informatics

  • Experiment design,
  • Differential expression,
  • Pathway mapping,
  • Pathway-specific testing (GSEA/GSA),
  • Phylogeny,
  • Clustering/visualization,
  • Hybrid experimental/observational designs;
  • SNP arrays analyses;
  • ChIP-on-ChIP analyses,
  • aCGH analyses,
  • Tiling arrays analyses,
  • Exon arrays analyses,
  • miRNA arrays analyses,
  • Epigenomic arrays analyses

Molecular Signatures & biomarkers for diagnostics, imaging and personalized medicine:

  • Development of molecular signatures for diagnosis,
  • Development of molecular signatures for outcome prediction (prognostic models), and personalized medicine (predictive models),
  • Discovery of diagnostic biomarkers,
  • Discovery of imaging biomarkers,
  • Discovery of putative drug targets,
  • In silico scanning of signatures and putative drug targets,
  • Deployment of signatures,
  • Automated software,
  • New methods for development of signatures and discovery of markers

Causal & Pathway inference

  • De novo discovery and refinement of pathways and drug targets,
  • Studies/benchmarking of causal validity of bioinformatics discovery methods,
  • Automated software,
  • Active learning/experiment number minimization
