The Biocomputing Lab is dedicated to computational biology education and research, focusing on gene structure, cDNA architecture and protein modeller complexities alongside macromolecular assembly and regulatory function analysis through informatics tools.
Software and tools
Lasergene (DNASTAR)
Comprehensive genomics and molecular biology analysis
Clustal X / W
Multiple sequence alignment for identifying conserved protein domains
MEGA 5.0
Phylogenetic tree construction and evolutionary analysis
GeneDoc 2.7
Conservation domain selection and publication preparation
FGENESH / FGENESHV
Gene detection in eukaryotic and prokaryotic sequences
Matinspector / TRANSFAC
Promoter sequence analysis
Students also receive training on composite databases including NCBI-PubMed, Protein Data Bank, EMBL-ENA and DDBJ.
Curriculum and experiments
The lab conducts standard experiments covering database utilisation, BLAST analysis, sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis and protein structural modelling, plus advanced work with NGS data annotation.
