Luca Cozzuto

Luca Cozzuto got his five years degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnologies at University Federico II of Naples in 2004 and a PhD in Molecular Medicine at European School of Molecular Medicine in 2009 ([1]). During his degree thesis he studied the structure of chemically modified DNA quadruplex by using NMR together with molecular dynamics [2]. During the four year of PhD he was involved in detection and characterization of bacterial RNA repeats showing a common of secondary structure [3]. Here he learnt programming, database and website developing and a number of bioinformatics tools for detecting non coding RNAs, clustering and sequence comparison. Moreover he was involved in the assembling and annotations of two bacterial genomes (sequenced by using 454 Roche platform), in the analysis of chip-seq data (analyzing data obtained by using Illumina technology) and in giving bioinformatic support to biological research [4].

My work at the Bioinformatics Unit:

• assembly and annotation of genomics and transcriptomics data
• chip-seq and clip-seq data analysis
• developing a pipeline in perl, R and shell_script for analysis of chip-seq data
• downstream analyses
• developing of a genome browser to display bacterial genome annotation
