MoDLE: High-performance stochastic modeling of DNA loop extrusion interactions Apr. 28, 2022 9:21 PM
"MoDLE is a computational tool for fast, stochastic modeling of molecular contacts from DNA loop extrusion capable of simulating realistic contact patterns genome wide in a few minutes. MoDLE accurately simulates contact maps in concordance with existing molecular dynamics approaches and with Micro-C data, and does so orders of magnitude faster than existing approaches. MoDLE's speed opens up for exploratory and predictive modeling of 3D genome structure in a wide range of settings", says Jonas Paulsen, professor at the Department of Biosciences.

Collaborations
ELIXIR Norway
ELIXIR Norway is the Norwegian national node of ELIXIR, the pan-European infrastructure for biological information, supporting life science research and its translation to medicine, environment, the bioindustries and society. This organization is a virtual organization where the Center of Bioinformatics hosts the regional Oslo node. It participates to the national help-desk user support, and in that activity also collaborates and coordinates closely with the Helse Sør-Øst-funded Bioinformatics Core facility.
