Interested in the genetic secrets of your favorite plant?

A genome sequence might reveal them. We wrote down a workflow from DNA extraction & sequencing to genome sequence assembly & annotation. It includes a hands-on guide with example commands.

Excited about plant pigments? Anthocyanin biosynthesis is a hot topic in plant biology, judging by the growing number of publications #FlavonoidFriday

Completing "Plant Bioinformatics" 🌱

Students worked with CLI, big data, and cloud computing (thanks to de.NBI). Critically assessed papers and reproduced analyses. Alarming how often methods are incomplete or data is not shared. Teaching #OpenScience is crucial.

Katharina is presenting her pigment engineering work at #GCSB2026. Check out P50 and read her recent review paper (https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.70047) to learn more

This week, I teach the students of WBIO-A-08 how to use the CLI. Currently they are having a lot of fun with piping 😈
They already learned how to create a @deNBI VM, transfer files, install tools via apt, and how to use a lot of small helpful utilities. In the next days some more bioinformatics orientated tools will follow.

We are excited to welcome Zoë as a new member of our group. Her work with molecular biology methods will contribute to our ongoing research on functional plant genomics. We are looking forward to the ideas and energy she brings to the lab.
