Who we are ...

ALE-HSA21 has been developed merging the biological background of the of the Human Genetics Disease Laboratory at IGB IGB lead by Prof. Ciccodicola Alfredo and coordinated by Dr. Costa Valerio, with the computational competency of the IAC group coordinated by Dr. Angelini Claudia. Since 2007, the IGB team has been studying, from a genetic perspective, the trisomy of chromosome 21, the genetic cause of Down syndrome. Both research groups tightly collaborate to data analysis of RNA-Seq experiments (whole transcriptome), performed by the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
The IAC team is expert in developing highly advanced mathematical, statistical and computational methods to solve problems having a high impact on applications in a mainly multidisciplinary framework and also in software, database and website implementation.
Both research teams are actively participating to the CNR Interomics Flagship Project and are MC members of the COST-Action: “Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis Network” connecting researchers working in the field of NGS at a European level.
