Main research areas
Investigating the mobility of antimicrobial resistance genes
Creating and maintaining the TFLink database, an integrated gateway to access transcription factor - target gene interactions for multiple species
We created and maintain the TFLink database that uniquely provides comprehensive and highly accurate information on transcription factor - target gene interactions, nucleotide sequences and genomic locations of transcription factor binding sites for human and six model organisms. We integrated the results of small- and large-scale approaches from ten different databases. We published our results in the Database journal.
Developing an R package, called mulea for functional enrichment analyses
We are developing the mulea (multi enrichment analysis) R package, an extensive analytical tool using diverse databases (e.g. Gene Ontology, pathways, miRNAs, transcription factors or protein domains) and provides statistical models and p-value correction procedures that can extend our understanding of the results of various high-throughput analyses. mulea uniquely provides a permutation-based, empirical false discovery rate correction of the p-values making the gene set overrepresentation analyses more reliable.
