COMPETITIVE BUT SENSITIVE: TOOL BENCHMARKING IN METAGENOMICS
The Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI) competition has been featured in a recent Nature Methods technology article. CAMI was launched by Alice McHardy from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Alexander Sczyrba at ...
Andreas graduated in the master course "Genetics and developmental biology" by successfully defending his master thesis today. In his master project entitled "Computational analysis of plastid DNA insertions into nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in non-photosynthetic parasitic plants from next generation sequencing data" ...
F1000 member Sebastian Suerbaum recommended our recent article "The 5300-year-old Helicobacter pylori genome of the Iceman" (Science 2016) as being of special significance in its field.
We are glad to invite you and your collaborators to the 16th Spring School in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. The course will be held at Bertinoro, Italy, from 12th through 16th of March. The course addresses Ph.D. students and post-docs ...
Five thousand years ago in the European Alps, a man was shot by an arrow, then clubbed to death. His body was subsequently mummified by ice until glacier retreat exhumed him in 1991. Subsequently, this ancient corpse has provided a ...
New master thesis projects are available in Prof. Ines Heiland's group at the University Tromso, the Arctic University of Norway. The projects cover chronobiology, disease characterization, parasite-host interactions of parasitic plants, and microbial communities of arctic soils.
A new platform for Bioinformatics in Austria has been established in 2015 and is currently brought into a formal structure. Recently the web portal of this initiative has been launched. It provides access to the main activities of the platform. Please support ...
This years CUBE excursion started in Schwechat. There we visited the OMV refinery, in which about 200 different types of crude oils can be converted into gas, fuels, heating oil, chemical products, and more. A tour through the refinery gave ...
The accessibility of almost complete genome sequences of uncultivable microbial species from metagenomes necessitates computational methods predicting microbial phenotypes solely based on genomic data. Roman Feldbauer, master student at CUBE, has investigated how comparative genomics can be utilized for the ...
