About
CIBI brings together expertise in genome informatics and computational mass spectrometry (proteomics, metabolomics) from leading German research institutions: Freie Universität Berlin (FUB), Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (EKUT) and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry Halle (IPB). Its mission is to provide application users and expert data analysts with cutting-edge tools and workflows for the analysis of omics data for reproducible analysis of complex biomedical data.
Services
CIBI maintains the bioinformatics libraries and tools collections SeqAn (FUB) and OpenMS (EKUT), and metabolite identification tools (IPB). It supports application users, expert data analysts, and developers in using these tools. For developers CIBI offers high-quality software libraries to allow for efficient implementations of novel algorithmic ideas for the analysis of –omics data and for effective distribution to application users and expert data analysts. For application users, expert data analysts, and developers CIBI provides support and consulting in using and extending the solutions provided by CIBI. In addition to augmenting documentation as well as teaching materials of these resources, we provide training and education events in the area of proteomics, metabolomics, sequence genomics as well as workflow systems. In addition, we support users in sharing and submitting to public metabolomics data repositories.
Developments
Developments focus on the sustainable, continued development and integration of the five main software platforms and other software libraries needed throughout de.NBI. CIBI pays particular attention to aspects of backwards compatibility and cross-platform availability of all maintained software to enable reproducibility of experiments and subsequent data analyses.
