Bioinformatic approaches and techniques are at the core of genomics and other omic sciences, which are paramount in current biological and biomedical research. Our research group has a strong attitude towards bioinformatics, which we often employ while addressing different research topics and questions.

In this context, we are also targeting the development of bioinformatic methods and tools to allow us and other scientists to address relevant research needs, including availability rapid, user-friendly, and computationally feasible pipelines. As such, we have developed and made available tools for addressing reconstruction of epidemiological outbreaks, of bacterial genomic plasticity, and for screening of predicted protein-protein interactions

Check out our GitHub profile MIDIfactory to find tools we develop to deal with evolution and genomic epidemiology investigations!

P-DOR

P-DOR is our tool for rapid outbreak detection, available on github, manuscript available on Bioinformatics.

Pippi

AlphaFastPPi is a Python package designed to streamline large-scale protein-protein interaction analysis using AlphaFold-Multimer, available on github, manuscript available on Bioinformatics Advances.
