🌸 Do you enjoy cherry blossoms?

We are looking for a future group member to explore the genetic mechanisms behind coloration in cherry flowers and fruits.

The project focuses on tissue-specific gene expression and its role in ornamental plants and crops.

Getting ready for the next Python course at the University of Bonn, starting Monday! 🚀

Plant Sciences master’s students can learn how to handle big data using Python, from the basics to applying AI for real-world problems 🌱💻

Really looking forward to a few days of creative coding and problem-solving!

FORGET SILICON: de.NBI Switches to 100% Organic Server Racks! 🧬🌿

We are phasing out traditional GPUs in favor of our new chlorophyll-powered compute clusters.

Please remember to water your allocated cloud partition every Tuesday. Over-watering may result in corrupted files or unexpected fern growth in your metadata.

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.
