Module 1: Bioinformatics
Group leader: Dr Lisa Berglund

Personnel: Linn Fagerberg (PhD-student), Mattias Forsberg (research engineer), Kalle Jonasson (research engineer), Per Oksvold (research engineer), Åsa Sivertsson (post-doc) and Martin Zwahlen (research engineer).

Responsibility: (i) To deliver custom made software solutions for all operations in the Human Proteome Resource (HPR) program, (ii) to provide the collected data to the public via the Human Protein Atlas, and (iii) to initiate the HPR analysis of human proteins by in silico selection of Protein Epitope Signature Tags (PrESTs) with subsequent design of oligonucleotide primer pairs for the cloning procedures in the Molecular Biology module.

Description: With the HPR-LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) as the backbone, data is collected from each module in the pipeline. The protein expression profiles and raw data from the project is published on the Human Protein Atlas public web site through annual releases.

The Bioinformatics group performs computer-based analysis of protein sequences for selection of protein fragments (PrESTs) to be used as immunogens for generation of target-specific polyclonal antibodies. The group is also heavily involved in all research performed in the HPR program, such as data collection, data interpretation and statistical analysis.
