Second generation sequencing and sequence bioinformatics (Z02)

• Subject Area: Biochemistry
• Term: from 2011 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 185476941

The experimental assessment of genome wide experiments requires a sophisticated infrastructure in sequencing equipment and an established platform for the basic analysis of large high throughput datasets. For this we have now established a sequencing and computational core facility in Regensburg, matching the basic needs of the SFB projects. Furthermore, this project is essential in advising and planning genome wide projects within the SFB and requires experienced bioinformaticians to adapt project specific experimental setups and to develop and test novel software pipelines, accordingly.
