Dumontier Lab

Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:51:42 -0500

Our research aims to better understand how living systems respond to chemical agents. A key aspect of our approach involves using computational frameworks that are powered by formal (i.e. machine understandable) semantics to make effectively use of vast and diverse amounts of biomedical knowledge. We are particularly interested in understanding how the response to chemical exposure is modulated by genetic and physiological variation among individuals and how this translates into altered capabilities at the molecular level.

Research Area

the discovery and on-demand use of biomedical data and services
the formulation, discovery and evaluation of scientific hypotheses
the simulation of biological systems at the level of individual molecules

IBL laboratory

Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:02:29 -0500

The IBL laboratory focuses on the multi-disciplinary analyses of the global responses of model microorganisms, cyanobacteria (mainly Synechocystis PCC6803) and yeasts (mainly Saccharomyces cerevisae) to environmental stresses triggered by oxidative agents, heavy metals, or drastic changes in nutrients availability. The genome-wide responses studied with the "omics" techniques (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and genetics) generate a wealth of experimental data, which are processed, archived, integrated and represented as working models through bioinformatics and mathematics.

CLA: Contig-Layout-Authenticator

Jit — Fri, 05 May 2017 05:58:36 -0500

To improve upon the shortcomings associated with the construction of draft genomes with Illumina paired-end sequencing, we developed Contig-Layout-Authenticator (CLA). The CLA pipeline can scaffold reference-sorted contigs based on paired reads, resulting in better assembled genomes. Moreover, CLA also hints at probable misassemblies and contaminations, for the users to cross-check before constructing the consensus draft. The CLA pipeline was designed and trained extensively on various bacterial genome datasets for the ordering and scaffolding of large repetitive contigs. The tool has been validated and compared favorably with other widely-used scaffolding and ordering tools using both simulated and real sequence datasets. CLA is a user friendly tool that requires a single command line input to generate ordered scaffolds.
