Matteo Pellegrini
Professor
Our lab is interested in the development of computational approaches to interpret genomic data. These methodologies allow us to develop annotated genomes, epigenomes and transcriptomes. Our approach is to integrate these data layers that are produced using the latest generation of high throughput sequencers. For instance we are developing suites of tools for the analysis of DNA methylation data, as well as tools to annotate genomes using RNA sequences.
