psichomics

Graphical application for alternative splicing quantification and analysis

psichomics is an interactive R package with an intuitive Shiny-based graphical interface for alternative splicing quantification and integrative analyses of alternative splicing and gene expression based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and user-provided data.

psichomics interactively performs survival, dimensionality reduction and median- and variance-based differential splicing and gene expression analyses that benefit from the incorporation of clinical and molecular sample-associated features (such as tumour stage or survival). Interactive visual access to genomic mapping and functional annotation of selected alternative splicing events is also included.

cTRAP

Identification of candidate causal perturbations from differential gene expression data

cTRAP is an R package designed to compare differential gene expression results with those from known cellular perturbations (such as gene knockdown, overexpression or small molecules) derived from the Connectivity Map (CMap; ). Such analyses allow not only to infer the molecular causes of the observed difference in gene expression but also to identify small molecules that could drive or revert specific transcriptomic alterations.

Docker images

At iMM, we have the opportunity of using Lobo, a multi-hundred node computer cluster. Lobo makes extensive use of Docker images, each a read-only templates that carries the instructions to build a Docker container. Containers are packaged applications that carry the necessary dependencies to allow running the program in every computer environment.
The following Docker images were developed by people in the Disease Transcriptomics team.

The Bioinformatics Matters Community and GenomePT

Bioinformatics Matters is a Research Community born due to the need of gathering all iMMers with an interest in Bioinformatics. It aims to consolidate the fundamental FAIR principles, contributing towards the unity of wet-lab researchers, and dry-lab researchers, by making bioinformatics knowledge available to the entire scientific community. It is focused on three main pillars: sharing, training, and networking.

GenomePT is a consortium of Portuguese research infrastructures, including iMM, that aims to provide sequencing and bioinformatics services for genome projects. GenomePT is integrated in the Portuguese Roadmap of Research Infrastructures.

The GenomePT iMM Node supports the Bioinformatics Matters community and its activities, by directly funding iMM researchers to make their work in the bioinformatics field accessible to the national research community.
