The Laboratory of Structural Bioinformatics and Computational Biology provides high-quality bioinformatics analysis services to assist researchers in achieving impactful scientific breakthroughs. Committed to precision and reliability, the laboratory delivers insightful, data-driven analyses that accelerate discovery and advance innovation in the life sciences.

Our services are formally contracted through Instrument IAP - Bioinformatics and Data Analysis Service of the Structural Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Laboratory. The contracting process is managed by the Luiz Englert Foundation (FLE), CNPJ 92.971.845/0001-42.

• AI-powered data analysis: Utilize machine learning and deep learning algorithms to uncover hidden patterns in biological data.
• DNA sequence analysis: Perform genome assembly, identify genetic variants (SNPs, Indels), and conduct phylogenetic or evolutionary analyses.
• Gene expression data analysis: Analyze RNA-Seq, single-cell, and microarray data to identify differentially expressed genes.
• Metagenomic analysis: Characterize taxonomic composition of microbial communities (e.g., 16S, ITS, shotgun sequencing); analyze functional genes and metabolic pathways; and study microbial diversity, structure, and community dynamics.
• Development of customized analysis pipelines: Adapt and optimize existing computational methods to meet project-specific requirements.

• Experimental planning: Design and optimization of experiments to generate data compatible with bioinformatics workflows.
• Tool and software selection: Curated selection and application of the most appropriate bioinformatics tools for analyzing your specific dataset.
• Interpretation of results: Expert guidance in interpreting and contextualizing bioinformatics findings within the broader biological context.
• Troubleshooting: Proactive identification and resolution of technical challenges encountered throughout the data analysis workflow.
• Multi-omics data integration: Seamless integration of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other omics datasets to construct a comprehensive model of the biological system.

• Introductory courses: Covering basic concepts of bioinformatics, essential tools, and software.
• Advanced courses: Including next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis, metagenomic analysis, gene expression analysis, and more.

Partnering with the Laboratório de Bacteriologia Veterinária - UFRGS, we provide cutting-edge diagnostic services, including:

• Antimicrobial Resistance Testing: Identify resistance markers in swine, bovine, and avian samples to optimize therapeutic strategies.

• Bacterial Strain Characterization: Perform advanced genetic analysis to enable precise identification and effective management of bacterial infections.
