Biomedicine can only be understood in the context of genomics and with the concourse of bioinformatics. Our department aims to tackle biomedical problems from a system's biology perspective. Following this, the general objective we seek through the main lines of research is to relate the mutations (Pharmacogenomics and Comparative Genomics) to their effect at cellular and phenotypic level (Functional Genomics) trying to understand the mechanism of action (Structural Genomics). Systems Biology Genes operate within an intricate network of interactions that we have only recently started to envisage. Many higher-order levels of interaction are continuously being discovered. In this scenario we are interested in developing methods and tools which can help to understand large-scale experiments from a systems biology perspective. Comparative genomics We are interested in the analysis of patterns and processes occurred during the evolution of our genome, and in the application of the evolutionary thought in human health and disease. * Adaptive Human Evolution * Evolutionary Pharmacogenetics * SNP's and Human Disease Structural genomics Our Unit aims to develop and apply computational methods for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell regulation beyond proteins. In particular, we apply our methods to study the interaction of small chemical compounds with proteins and to characterize their molecular actions. We are also developing methods for RNA 3D structure prediction with the aim of applying them to understand the effects of non-coding RNA molecules. Finally, in collaboration with experimentalists, we are working in determining the first ever 3D structure of a genomic domain in human.

Brain Basics provides information on how the brain works, how mental illnesses are disorders of the brain, and ongoing research that helps us better understand and treat disorders. Mental disorders are common. You may have a friend, colleague, or relative with a mental disorder, or perhaps you have experienced one yourself at some point. Such disorders include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and many others. Some people who develop a mental illness may recover completely; others may have repeated episodes of illness with relatively stable periods in between. Still others live with symptoms of mental illness every day. They can be moderate, or serious and cause severe disability. Through research, we know that mental disorders are brain disorders. Evidence shows that they can be related to changes in the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the nervous system. When the brain cannot effectively coordinate the billions of cells in the body, the results can affect many aspects of life. Scientists are continually learning more about how the brain grows and works in healthy people, and how normal brain development and function can go awry, leading to mental illnesses. Brain Basics will introduce you to some of this science, such as: * How the brain develops * How genes and the environment affect the brain * The basic structure of the brain * How different parts of the brain communicate and work with each other * How changes in the brain can lead to mental disorders, such as depression.

http://www.gotaxexplorer.de/

GOTaxExplorer presents a new approach to comparative genomics that integrates functional information and families with the taxonomic classification. It integrates UniProt, Gene Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy, Pfam and SMART in one database. GOTaxExplorer provides four different query types: selection of entity sets, comparison of sets of Pfam families, semantic comparison of sets of GO terms, functional comparison of sets of gene products. This permits to select custom sets of GO terms, families or taxonomic groups. For example, it is possible to compare arbitrarily selected organisms or groups of organisms from the taxonomic tree on the basis of the functionality of their genes. Furthermore, it enables to determine the distribution of specific molecular functions or protein families in the taxonomy. The comparison of sets of GO terms allows to assess the semantic similarity of two different GO terms. The functional comparison of gene products makes it possible to identify functionally equivalent and functionally related gene products from two organisms on the basis of GO annotations and a semantic similarity measure for GO. Platform: Online tool, Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible
