Genomic Analysis
Description
The ability of cells of mantain a high degree of order in a chaotic
universe depends upon the accurate duplication of vast quantities
of genetic information carried in chemical from as DNA. Maintaining
order requires the continued surveillance and repair of this genetic
information because DNA inside cells is repeatedly damaged by
chemical and radiation from the environment, as well as by thermal
accidents and reactive molecules. The DNA microarray technology
enables the simultaneous analysis of thousands genes. This tecnology
is becoming accessible thanks to the availability of electronic
systems able to perform computational intensive operations. The
development of techniques and algorithm for the analysis of DNA
microarray images allow the possibility to investigate DNA replication
and repair mechanisms that are the major causes of human's desease
like cancers and genomic disfunctions.
Our group is involved in the activities reported
below:
- DNA microarray images analysis computation
- DNA microarray images pattern recognition
- Analysis of Defects in DNA repair, recombination
and correction mechanisms
