Would you like to confirm your cloning success with full plasmid sequencing?

NanoPlasmiQC allows automatic analysis of dozens of plasmids in a single ONT sequencing run. If you would like to test it with your own plasmids, read more in the preprint and feel free to reach out:

One year at Uni Bonn after moving from TU Braunschweig β€” time really flies! A year full of exciting research, fresh ideas, and strong growth for our group. Grateful for amazing collaborators and supporters along the way. πŸš€

On to an even more exciting year ahead!

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.
