Dominik Seelow, Dr. rer. medic., is professor for Bioinformatics and Translational Genetics and research group leader at the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) and Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin. His research focus is the development of user-friendly software and databases for the elucidation of monogenic disease. All applications are free to use and most are web-based. Some examples are HomozygosityMapper which is aimed at the discovery of disease-linked genomic regions in consanguineous families, MutationTaster for the evaluation of the disease-causing potential of DNA variants, MutationDistiller, combining gene variant and phenotype annotation for the identification of the disease mutation in WES data, RegulationSpotter giving a user-friendly estimation of the potential impact of extra-transcriptic DNA variants, and ePOSSUM, which predicts the effect of DNA variants on transcription factor binding.
