Core Facilities

The Bioinformatics Group provides support for data analysis and interpretation and utilises software and pipelines to analyse next-generation datasets from DNA and RNA-based experiments. For example, interpreting OMIC datasets to identify the candidate genes and elucidate relevant biological pathways.

Bioinformatics Group

The Bioinformatics Group contributes to a wide range of research projects and collaborates closely with the Genomics and Proteomics Cores to provide high-quality informatics support to all users.
