Applied microarray analysis, bioinformatics, genomics, and DNA/genome sequence analysis

The Ayoubi lab uses advanced technologies and genomics approaches including DNA microarray analysis, bioinformatics, genomics, EST and genome sequence analysis to study a variety of biological problems. Recent studies include Anaplasma phagocytophilum modulation of gene expression in human host cells; specific induction and relief from carbon catabolite repression as two systems involved in expression of genes needed for metabolism of complex polysaccharides; and gene expression patterns during carbon deprivation and pectin metabolism by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Bioinformatics tools such as PipeOnLine and GenePix Auto-Processor have been developed to assist in automated processing of large-scale biological data. PipeOnline is a web-based integration of tools designed to process DNA sequence data and generate online pubic and private databases. GenePix Auto-Processor (GPAP) is a web-based interface for second level preprocessing and statistical analysis of primary expression data obtained from microarray image processing.
