Inge Jonassen
My field of research is bioinformatics – development and application of informatics methods for the analysis of molecular biology data. My interests include methods for the automatic discovery of patterns, data analysis, algorithms and machine learning applied on molecular biology data. The research in my group includes tight collaboration with experimental groups wihtin different fields of biological and medical research. I work with analysis of different types of data including DNA sequences (including genomes), protein sequences and structures, gene expression data, and data generated usiing high-throughput technologies, e.g., next-generation sequencing. My group is also engaged in development and applicationof methods for integration of data and tools within bioinformatics.

Julia Romanowska (with Rolv Terje Lie)
Currently, as a post-doc at the University of Bergen, I am analyzing genomic data with the use of statistical methods, and looking at possible risks for certain phenotypes associated with specific allele variations. I am involved in the development of the Haplin software, intented for this kind of analysis. The project is a joint collaboration between Prof. Rolv Terje Lie at IGS and Prof. Inge Jonassen at CBU, which aims at making the software more efficient and available to a larger scientific community, as well as including bioinformatics data into analysis.
Tomasz Stokowy (with Vidar Steen et al)
Currently works in Genomics Core Facility in Bergen. His research is focused on whole human genome analytics and interpretation. He is also involved in development of bioinformatics tools and molecular diagnostics of genetics related disorders.

Bjørn Bredesen (with Marc Rehmsmeier and Leonie Ringrose)
I’m a PhD student of Marc Rehmsmeier and Leonie Ringrose, co-supervised by Inge Jonassen. Our research focuses on the development and application of machine learning methods for the study of cis-regulatory elements in DNA, with a focus on Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements, a class of regulatory elements that maintain epigenetic memory.
