DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS, GENOMICS AND BIOINFORMATICS, National Biotechnology Development Agency, Nigeria

BioStar — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 10:48:25 -0500

The Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics Department (GBBD) at NABDA is unique, encompassing all facets of modern genetics and bioinformatics research. Trans-disciplinary research being conducted in our laboratories would lead to cures for human diseases; improvements to crop and livestock quality and yield; creation of new technologies with applications to medicine; agriculture; environment; and industry.

Our capacity building activities covers both general and specialized topics in translational genetics, and is designed to better acquaint scientists and clinicians with the tools and technologies of genetics and genomics.

OUR RESEARCH ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

Biomedical Genetics: investigating genetic and environmental factors contributing to phenotypes with relevance to human health and disease.
Computation and Bioinformatics: develop new approaches for the management, analysis, and modelling of large, complex data sets.
Population and Quantitative Genetics: study of how genetic processes evolve to generate genetic variation in populations of organisms, and the effects on the patterning of variation within and between populations and specie, and
Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology: focuses on the research and innovation for industrial enzymes, biologics and biosimilars production.

Machine learning training and courses in bioinformatics !

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 19:33:07 -0600

Machine learning techniques have been successful in analyzing biological data because of their capabilities in handling randomness and uncertainty of data noise and in generalization. In this class, we will learn basics about probabilistic models and machine learning techniques. We will focus on probabilistic models (Markov models, Hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks) for biological sequence analysis and systems biology. Other machine learning techniques, such as Naive bayes, neural networks and SVMs will only be covered briefly.

Nedelec Lab

Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:38:55 -0500

Location :European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Heidelberg, Germany.

Our long-term research objective is to understand microtubule organization in living cells, with an emphasis on mitosis. We develop in-vitro assays, quantitative image analysis and cytosim, a computer simulation to study cellular architecture from a mechanistic angle, modeling the interactions of microtubules and related proteins such as molecular motors. In the past, we combined simulations and experiments to study microtubule self-organization, and the mechanical stability of two interacting asters. More recently, we looked at the focusing of mitotic fibers, the formation of antiparallel arrays of microtubules in fission yeast and the spindle positionning in C. elegans.
We are supported by BioMS, an initiative in Systems Biology, and involved in Cell networks.
