David Berry has received an ERC Starting Grant for his project "Illuminating Functional Networks and Keystone Species in the Gut". This is the fourth ERC grant for a current member of DoME. Congratulations!
Orthologous groups are a central resource for comparative (meta-)genomics. At CUBE we have established a novel resource of Virus Orthologous Groups (VOGs), which is based all current RefSeq genomes. It therefore represents all viral lineages of which complete genomes are available. ...
Measuring differential gene expression is a common task in the analysis of RNA-Seq data. To identify differentially expressed genes between two samples, it is crucial to normalize the data sets. While multiple normalization methods are available, all of them are ...
An international team of scientists including DOME Group Leader Jillian Petersen has shown that hydrothermal vents must be far more common in the deep sea than we thought.
Several DMES members are involved in AMICI - a new initiative that links diverse Austrian scientific and medical societies to promote microbiome research in Austria. Alexander Loy is the general manager of AMICI, Thomas Rattei represents the Austrian Association of Molecular Life Sciences ...
Members of the DoME held a workshop entitled "A journey into microbial life on earth" at the KinderUni 2016. This workshop hosted children from 7 to 12 years of age and was aimed to illustrate the importance of microbes ...
HoloVir is a robust and flexible data analysis pipeline that provides an optimized and validated workflow for taxonomic and functional characterization of viral metagenomes derived from invertebrate holobionts. It has been ...
CONSPRED is a prokaryotic genome annotation framework that performs various intrinsic gene predictions, homology searches, predictions of non-coding genes, and complex features and integrates all evidence into a consensus annotation.
CONSPRED 1.28 has now been publicly released along with an applications ...
Raheleh has successfully defended her PhD thesis "ECF sigma factors: how endophytes sense the plants" this morning. The thesis was reviewed by Prof. Eva Stukenbrock, Kiel, and by Dr. Stefanie Wienkoop, University of Vienna. Congratulations, Raheleh!
