BioIT Platform

BioIT Platform

Bacterial genome sequences provide definitive information for investigating biological properties and understanding the role of the microbiota in health and disease. The BioIT platform provides expertise in genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics, and the interpretation of associated data sets.

 

Tools/equipment/techniques:

 

Various ‘omics’ analyses & associated bioinformatics

Global gene expression (transcriptomics, microarrays)

  • Standardized microarray procedures (2x11k & 4x44k)
  • Multispecies arrays
    • Bifidobacterium species
    • Helicobacter pylori
    • Lactobacillus salivarius
    • Lactococcus lactis
    • Human
  • Array-based techniques
    • Expression analysis
    • Genomic content (CGH)

Genome sequencing/analysis

  • Assembly, annotation (ERGO platform) and comparative analysis
  • Identifying relevant biological processes (e.g. metabolic pathways)
  • Statistics, clustering & visualization

 

Platform leaders: Douwe van Sinderen, Aldert Zomer
