Welcome to the WWW Pages of the Bioinformatics department of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine. We are a bioinformatics work group (formerly a biomathematics group established in the 1970s). We apply mathematical methods to solve statistical and combinatorial problems in biosciences. Special fields of our work are genome analysis, genetics, protein sequence analysis and genetic epidemiology.

  • Alternative Splicing
    Search the EST database for alternative splice forms in a query mRNA or protein.
  • Haplotype Estimation
    Prediction of haplotype frequencies via the Maximum Likelihood algorithm. Genetic data of core families or independent probands can be uploaded for analysis.
  • Multilocus LD calculation
    Calculation of linkage disequilibrium (LD) values for haplotypes using an entropy-based multilocus LD measure. The haplotypes and their frequencies can either be uploaded into a web-based calculator or the ANSI-C sources for a stand-alone program can be downloaded for repeated use.
  • Simulation of SNP sequences
    Simulation of haplotypic and genotypic data of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in haplotype blocks, with an optional genotype-dependent assignment of a phenotype (affection status or quantitative trait).
  • Webbased GandrKB (Gene annotation data representation)
    An ontology and knowledgebase describing gene functions enabeling biologists to annotate (multiple) genes on Affymetrix Microarrays per simple /drag and drop/. Annotation-concepts and genes can be linked for fast and intuitive context-exploration and extensive querying. Generated gene annotations can be interactively explored as semantic networks with advanced visualisation tools.
  • HNB
    Helmholtz Network for Bioinformatics.
  • Comparative Sequence Analysis
    Exploitation of evolutionary information that is traceable in biological sequence data. (Peer Bork).
