Project on genetics applied to psychology
Development of new methods for analyzing personality and emotional disorders
Project Overview
The project aims to create a comprehensive genetic database that compiles all available and current information on depression and its genetics, consolidating all knowledge useful to psychologists and psychiatrists in clinical practice into a single genetic analysis.
This database will be used to develop the most complete and accurate analysis on the market, facilitating a better understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in depression, as well as those shared with other pathologies, variations in gene expression, and modifications in synthesized proteins.
This initiative could have a significant impact on the mental health and quality of life of people suffering from depression.
This will allow for prevention and early diagnosis, as well as improved selection of the most appropriate treatment for each individual.
Resultados del proyecto
En el desarrollo de este proyecto, hemos creado una base de datos de información que integra datos de diversas ómicas. En concreto, genómica y transcriptómica, así como sus relaciones dentro del campo de la biología de sistemas mediante tablas de categorías Kegg y Gene Ontology.
Para facilitar su consulta programática hemos desarrollado una API REST de acceso local. Este diseño amplía el espectro de uso de la información puesto que facilita el acceso a la información clínica y biológica desde la genética, adquiriendo cierto potencial de uso clínico en el futuro si se integrase en un sistema de información hospitalaria.
