Exploring microbial communities beyond time and space in the Microbial EcoGenomics Group
The Group is focused on the development and application of new methodologies to analyze modern and ancient (meta)genomic data. Our interests range from the reconstruction of past environmental changes to the characterization of the unknown coding sequence space in microbiome analyses.
The Microbial EcoGenomics Group combines interdisciplinary research fields to study modern and ancient microbial communities. The group focuses in the development of new analytical and computational approaches:
- To perform complex analyses of modern and ancient microbial communities
- To explore and structure the known and unknown coding sequence space in genomes and metagenomes
- To expand the toolkit for biodiscovery in environmental samples
