Computational Tools

Wyoming INBRE invites suggestions from biomedical researchers for development of one or more computational tools. We envision these tools to be:

  • Small scale projects that could be completed within one academic semester
  • Built using Python or R
  • Have potential for broad biomedical research/teaching use, rather than having a very narrow focus.

If you have ideas for such a tool, please email wyoinbre@gmail.com for more information.

An Example Project

We recently developed a computational tool that finds restriction endonuclease recognition sites in short sequences for CRISPR protocols. Please take a look at both the code as well as the micropublication it resulted in below. This project is a good example of the extent of effort that we are able to invest into this initiative.
