Head of the department of Computational Systems Biology in Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, Moscow, Russia
Vsevolod Makeev received his diploma in Physics (1990) followed by Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics (1996) and Dr. Sci. in Physics and Mathematics (2010) from Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. From 2001 to 2010 V.M. worked as a head of Laboratory of bioinformatics in State Research Centre of Genetics and Selection of Industrial Microorganisms, Moscow, Russia.
Vsevolod is a specialist in algorithm development for molecular biology and sequence data analysis. With his collaborators Vsevolod participated in developing of motif finders such as SeSiMCMC Gibbs sampler and ChIPMunk. His lab is a home of databases of DNA motifs binding regulatory proteins HOCOMOCO (for human and mouse) and iDMMPMM (for Drosophila). In 2016 Vsevolod has been elected as a correspondent member to Russian Academy of Sciences.
HOCOMOCO (HOmo sapiens COmprehensive MOdel Collection) is a human curated collection of position weight matrix (PWM) models for binding sites for 680 human and 453 mouse TFs.
