Core Services:

Genomic Data Analysis

Our genomic data analysis services encompass the entire spectrum of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data, providing detailed insights through sophisticated bioinformatics techniques. All workflows include data processing, alignment, and reporting through our suite of integrative analyses.

  • Variant Calling and Annotation: We perform identification and annotation of genomic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), and structural variants (SVs) from both DNA and RNA secuencing data. Our workflow includes standard quality control filtration and reporting, alignment to reference genomes, and functional impact prediction using gold-standard databases like dbSNP, ClinVar, and COSMIC.

  • Transcriptome Profiling: We offer industry-leading RNA-Seq data processing and analysis services that include differential quantification of gene expression, modeling of alternative RNA proccesing, and discovery of isoforms from both short-read and long-read data. We leverage a combination of tools and methods to ensure accurate and standard gene transcript counting, normalization, probability estimation, and interactive gene structure modeling. Our reports also come packed with integrative analyses of secuence regions of interest to provide deep insights into gene regulatory patterns and mechanisms.

  • Peak Calling: We support peak calling statistics for identification of nucleotide-protein interactions and binding sites from common types of immunoprecipitation experiments (ChIP-seq, i/eCLIP, etc.), as well as DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications from bisulfite sequencing and chromatin accessibility assays (ATAC-Seq). The workflow specificallly includes appropriate peak calling statistics and employs motif discovery tools.

  • Genome Assembly: We construct and annotate complete genomes from raw sequencing data through de novo assembly using standard assembler software. We provide statistics on scaffolding quality and confidence of assembly. Following assembly, we conduct genome annotation to identify genes, regulatory elements, and functional motifs within the new genome. Additionally, we offer comparative genomics analysis to identify conserved regions, structural variants, and evolutionary relationships, providing insights into genomic structures and functions.

  • Metagenomics Analysis (Coming Soon): Our forthcoming metagenomics services will include comprehensive sequence quality control, pre-processing, and alignment, taxonomic classification of microbial species using validated classifiers, and gene functional annotation to characterize microbial communities. Our services will also encompass diversity and comparative analysis to assess microbial diversity and compare samples using metrics such as alpha and beta diversity, offering a thorough understanding of complex microbial ecosystems.

Clinical Bioinformatics

Our clinical bioinformatics services leverage robust statistical techniques to transform clinical data into actionable insights, enabling precision medicine and personalized healthcare solutions. We integrate multi-omic datasets with clinical records to develop comprehensive models that support prognosis, disease progression monitoring, and informed clinical decision-support.

  • Outcomes Modeling: We develop predictive models for clinical outcomes using sophisticated machine learning and statistical techniques. We integrate multi-omic data with clinical records to build robust models of prognosis, disease progression, and general outcomes. We leverage genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics datasets, along with cohort demographics and clinical histories, to provide a comprehensive insigths and decision support framework.

  • Image Classification (Coming Soon): Our upcoming service will utilize deep learning algorithms to classify and analyze medical images. This includes the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and other advanced machine learning techniques to enhance diagnostic accuracy, monitor disease progression, and assist in clinical decision-making. The service will support various imaging modalities, including MRI, CT, X-rays, and histopathology slides.

Molecular Dynamics Analysis

Our protein modeling services offer a computational approach to understanding protein interactions. By employing our techniques and simulations, we provide insights into protein molecular dynamics, which is essential for drug discovery and understanding biological processes. For all workflows, we offer probability estimates based on the empirical distributions of macromolecular interactions. Post-analysis we leverage standard visualizion tools and scripting for reporting on models.

  • Protein-Protein Docking: We infer protein-protein and protein-ligand interfaces and binding affinities using standard three-dimensional docking tools. Our reports provide guided predictions for identifying potential drug targets and leverage our integrative framework for understanding the mechanistic basis of protein function. Our approach includes scoring functions to assess and characterize close-contacts, incorporating factors such as electrostatic interactions and solvation effects. We generate detailed interaction maps and energy profiles that provide insights into the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of binding and protein interaction events.

  • Molecular Dynamics Simulations: We perform detailed molecular dynamics simulations to capture the atomic behavior of proteins over time. Using industry-standard (in some cases bleeding-edge) tools, we simulate the conformational changes, flexibility, and stability of protein complexes under standard conditions. Our deliverables provide temporal and spatial resolution of molecular movements, allowing for the analysis of protein folding, binding kinetics, and allosteric regulation.

  • Comparative Structural Analysis: We assess protein conformations data to identify structural rearrangements and domain movements. We compare experimentally derived structures with simulated models, detect conformational shifts that influence protein function, and explore interaction complex capabilities. Additionally, we model how mutations of interest or ligand binding events alter a particular protein's structure and infer changes to its interaction network.

Coming Soon: Proteomics and Metabolomics

Our proteomics services offer a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the proteome, leveraging advanced mass spectrometry (MS) techniques to provide high-resolution insights into protein expression, modifications, and interactions data to support understanding cellular processes, identifying biomarkers, and developing targeted therapies.
