Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology
Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology is focused on development of new approaches of ICA application for analysis and interpretation of tumor heterogeneity, on the study of gene expression and genomic variants in cancer/normal tissues, on analysis of whole genomes/exomes of Kazakh individuals and identification of Kazakh specific genomic variants with developing national genomic reference database, on the study of differential expression in plants in different states and parts, genome organization and genetic variants of drug-resistant M.tuberculosis strains circulating in Kazakhstan, on development of bioinformatics tools implementing a machine learning approaches as applied to DNA detection and amplification technologies as well as development of novel bioinformatics tools and databases.
