Bioinformatics and Translational Research

Software

It is important to us that our bioinformatics research also leads to robust, easy-to-use, and powerful tools for the scientific community. Our tools are available open source and we use workflow management systems like Nextflow and containers like Docker to develop reproducible research software. Have fun trying them out and we’re always happy to receive feedback and pull requests on GitHub.

Developing bioinformatics software is almost always a team effort: the tools and pipelines shown here would not be possible without collaboration. Many thanks to all our partners and the bioinformatics community!
