BIOINFORMATICS
Bioinformatics is the process of converting data-rich research outputs into something that can be better understood and interpreted.
Bioinformatics can be considered as the intersection of biology, computer science, and maths or statistics. Most bioinformaticians have expertise in only one or two of these areas, so rely on the understanding of other researchers to help provide the context to interpret and process data.
​
Bioinformatics services in the form of analysis support, software use, pipeline establishment, and teaching are available for data collected using our genomics platforms. Please approach us with your specific needs and we will determine how we can help.
​
Our aim is to create a seamless pipeline for cell analysis, where genomic data can be generated in-house to be processed, mapped and contextualised with disease models as well as gene and protein expression data from flow cytometry and/or microscopy.

Visualisation of single cell RNA-seq data from migratory dendritic cells in the skin of wild type (C57) or STAT6 knock out mice using Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP). Dendritic cells from skin draining lymph nodes were sorted using a BD INFLUX™ Cell sorter loaded on BD Rhapsody™ Single-Cell Analysis System and analysed using the BD Rhapsody™ WTA Analysis Kit.
