SIB catalyzes open research data practices in Switzerland
SIB Members are leading or involved in several projects which have been awarded...
In the Evolutionary Bioinformatics Group, we are interested in animal genome evolution with a focus on questions arising from evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo). For this, we develop methods and databases to extract reliable information from genome and transcriptome data. Our main project is Bgee, a database for gene expression expertise. While developing Bgee, we conduct research on ontologies, biocuration, and statistical methods for transcriptomics. Our biological focus is to link Evo-Devo with evolutionary genomics. Notably, we study the role of gene duplication in the divergence between genes and between species.
The group develops the SIB Resource Bgee, an expertly-curated gene expression database
