Bioinformatics - Prof. Toppo

Overview:

 

I lead the group of MedComp (Computational Medicine). We work on different fields of research with a particular focus on Bioinformatics, Biochemistry and more in general in other “omics” areas as Transcriptomics,

Proteomics, and Genomics.

Research lines:

Our group has a long-lasting expertise in the development of methods for the prediction of gene and protein function. The first tool, Argot, dates back to 2009, and its further developments Argot2 and Argot2.5 successfully participated to the Critical Assessment of Protein Annotation (CAFA) in 2011 and 2014. The methods are available as freely usable web servers and accept submissions of thousands of sequences (see “Tools”). Currently, a new version of the algorithm is being implemented, in view of the third edition of the CAFA challenge that will start at the beginning of 2017.
