Announcing the DISVIS web server
DisVis allows you to visualizes and quantify the information content of distance restraints between macromolecular complexes. It performs a full and systematic 6 dimensional search of the three translational and rotational degrees of freedom to determine the number of complexes consistent with the restraints. In addition, it outputs the percentage of restraints being violated and […]
DTL Focus Meeting on data integration, standards and the FAIR principles in proteomics

The goal of this DTL Focus Meeting is to discuss the current data quality assessment approaches, data format standards, multi-omics data integration, big data and bioinformatics […]
DNA sequencing and evolution in the virtual Utrecht Bioinformatics Center
Geert Kops wants to find the answer to a main question: how does cell division work at the molecular level? The answer to that question is relevant for our understanding of cancer. Berend Snel’s work focuses on the genomic evolution of complex life processes. In their research, they both deal with bioinformatics, the science that […]
