We all know that DNA (four chemical letters: A, T, C, G) encodes the genetic information of our lives, including appearance, growth, and even genetic diseases. It performs like an instruction book that tells our cells how to function. However, do you know how we decrypt this personal book and apply it for diagnosis and […]

For International Women’s Day, IGC Bioinformatics Analysis Core Manager Dr Jing Su talks about her career and experience as a female leader. I come from China and was born and raised in Beijing, a city rich in history and heritage. Growing up in the capital, I was surrounded by centuries-old landmarks, with the Forbidden City […]

Above: RNAse H2 structure, predicted with AlphaFold-Multimer. The visualization of interfaces raises questions on mechanisms of action, which can then be experimentally tested in the wet lab.   Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is slowly starting to make its way into every aspect of life. In the increasingly data-driven field of Biology, tools like AlphaFold are […]

Team member of the Bioinformatics Analysis Core   Science is unpredictable, but you have to ask clear and sensible biological questions before doing the analysis, rather than producing big data for the sake of it. – Suggested by Dr. Philippe Gautier (Gogo) to young researchers in the MRC Human Genetics Unit, and those who plan […]
