Centre for Computational Biology is a mutli-disciplinary lab providing a broad expertise in analytical, algorithmic and infrastructure solutions for computational biology, translational bioinformatics and agrigenomics. Areas of research interests are: immunooncology, genome stability and integrity, transposable elements biology, population and medical genetics. We are also engaged in several crop genetics initiatives to achieve high-accuracy marker-assisted selection and to delineate mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. As large-scale data management is essential for experimental science, we design big data and analytics ecosystems to drive and support biomedical, as well as agrigenomics research to the next level.
News & Events
Pygenomics is a Python package that provides routines for working with genomic intervals and processing bioinformatic data files. Our paper in Bioinformatics is available online.
Polar bears are a powerful symbol of the strength and endurance of the Arctic. Habitat fragmentation and contraction caused by human activities in the past century pose a serious threat to genetic diversity of many species, including polar bears, and increase their risk of extinction. We initiated a project, which aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the genetic variability, population structure, and demographic history of polar bears in the Russian Arctic.

Structural variants (SVs) are a dominant force shaping genomes and substantially contributing to genetic diversity. SWaveform is an open-source versatile web resource and a toolbox developed to process, store and visualise signal coverage profiles in the vicinity of structural variant breakpoints. The resource aims to boost development of computational tools and algorithms for discovery of genomic rearrangement events from sequencing data.
