Genomics

Development of experimental and bioinformatical methods to sequence, analyze and functionally understand prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes

This scope studies prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes to understand their architecture and dynamic functionality. Genomics naturally extends to the study of expressed gene transcripts (Transcriptomics) and to the active chromatin modifications (Epigenomics) to unveil the mechanisms by which genomes respond to stimuli in different histological tissues and pathological conditions. Human Genomics studies somatic mutations causally linked to cancer, germline polymorphisms linked to genetic diseases and mutations cause by the exposition to external mutagens (Toxicogenomics). In prokaryotes, the department research activities focus on the study of human pathogens and of novel bacterial species able to synthesize novel molecules with industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
