CABGen is involved in bioinformatics and statistics applied to life sciences (medicine, biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, genetics) and it is specialized in providing services from the design to the research running of bioinformatics analysis. The bioinformatics center can be contacted at any stage of the project offering one, some or all the services necessary to the perform the research. >>>

This service offers our expertise for the characterization of nuclear proteins involved in genetic diseases.

Services offered:

1. Analysis of immunolocalization of nuclear proteins for conventional and confocal microscopy.

2. Immunolocalization of an antigen of interest in cells stained with antibodies against specific markers of sub-nuclear compartments (replication factories, transcription factories, speckles, Cajal bodies, heterochromatic domains, nuclear membrane, apoptotic bodies).

3. We can assist users in selecting the best strategy to study the distribution of proteins in overexpression experiments (vectors and proteins fused to tags or fluorescent proteins).>>

Over 10 hereditary disorders have recently been associated with mutations in nuclear envelope proteins or related proteins. These diseases have been defined as Laminopathies. With this service we want to offer our expertise in support of research groups who work occasionally or who want to start studying nuclear proteins involved in genetic diseases >>>

The use of electron microscopy associated to molecular biology has led to the identification of sub-nuclear domains involved in the organization and chromatin remodeling, in DNA replication and RNA production. The ultrastructural analysis has allowed the identification of alterations in the nuclear pathologies with defect of nuclear lamina and in some muscular dystrophies of different origin. >>>
